I am having trouble with the card. i followed these instructions.
Supported Operating Systems:
Linux kernel version 2.2.x
First mount the second floppy diskette that came with the network =
adapter.
Here is how it should be done:
Log in as root, admin, or superuser and type this at a terminal prompt:
mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
This will mount the floppy diskette so that you can access it's files =
and
directories. Make sure the diskette is not write protected!
Change directories to the "Linux" directory on the diskette?
cd linux
You will need to copy the "tulip.c" file to the correct directory on the
hardrive.
cp tulip.c /usr/src/linux/net/inet
This will copy the tulip.c file to the directory inet, if you do not =
have
this directory you can make it by doing this.
mkdir inet
You should now have a directory named inet located in the net directory.
Compile the tulip.c file with the compile command:
gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet -Wall =
-Wstrict-prototype
s -O6 -c tulip.c `[ -f /usr/include/linux/modversions.h ] &&
echo -DMODVERSIONS`
PAY ATTENTION TO EVERY LETTER AND CAPATILIZATION!!!
You should now have a file called tulip.o in the same inet directory, =
you
must copy the tulip.o file to the proper directory within Linux so it =
can be
loaded, and then activated.
cp tulip.o /lib/modules/kernel_version/net
You should now have the tulip.o file located in
/lib/modules/kernel_version/net (kernel_version is the current version =
of
the kernel i.e.: 2.2.5-15)
Issue the command to activate the modules within the net directory:
depmod -a
Then type the following command to probe the tulip.o.
modprobe tulip.o
Now you should be able to run netconf to setup the eth0 interface with =
the
local host name, ip address, subnet mask, and module type.
Host: linuxbox
IP Address: 192.168.1.1
Subnetmask: 255.255.255.0
Module type: tulip
Quit and accept and activate the changes
Type the following command at the command prompt:
ifconfig
You should see eth0 as one of the interfaces, this means the card is
When I did depmod -a i get
depmod: *** unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.2.15-4mdk/net/tulip.o
when i do a modprobe tulip.o i get can;t locate tulip module.
I am sure i compiled it okay i did not get any errors also I used the =
latest drivers from scyld.com. I do not know what else to do?? This is =
driving me crazy=20
