In order to get the Linksys EtherFast 10/100 PCI card to work under
Linux, you will have to use the tulip.c driver that is located in the
LINUX subdirectory on the Driver Disk 2" that came with the card.

To install it, you will need to do the following:

1. cd /tmp                   <or wherever you want>
2. mcopy a:/linux/tulip.c .
3. Compile as a kernel module, using one of these command lines (listed
at the bottom of the file):

SMP system:

gcc -D__SMP__ -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet -Wall 
-Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c tulip.c 
`[ -f /usr/include/linux/modversions.h ] && echo -DMODVERSIONS`

Single processor system:

gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet -Wall 
-Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c tulip.c 
`[ -f /usr/include/linux/modversions.h ] && echo -DMODVERSIONS`


Note that the compile command is all one line - I had to break it up
here.

4. cp tulip.o /lib/modules/<your kernel version>/net

I don't know what kernel version you are running - it will be something
like "2.2.14", etc.

5. Restart networking by typing:

   /etc/rc.d/init.d/network stop
   /etc/rc.d/init.d/network start

Or just reboot!

Hope this helps!
