Hey all,=20
I tried Netgear's websit first but they have nothing on linux and the =
fa511. Your list is my next attempt to fix my problem, which is that it =
works under Windows ME, but when I try to use they're install guide for =
linux it gets confusing for me since I'm new to linux. I will try to =
tell you all the specs about my machine, my card and the problem. If i =
forget something just ask and I'll try my best to figure it out. OK I =
have a Dell Inspiron 3800 700Mhz speedstep 128MB RAM running Redhat7.0 =
2.2.16-22, PCMCIA 3.1.19. The card I have is a Netgear FA511 Cardbus =
Card 32-bit. The Instructions for the redhat 7.0 installation are as =
follows:
NETGEAR FA511 CardBus Mobile Adapter
----------------------------------------
=20
Contents of the Subdirectory:
-----------------------------
redhatx.x\tulip.c The linux driver source code file
redhatx.x\pci-scan.h The linux driver header file
redhatx.x\kerncomp.h The linux driver header file
redhatx.x\tulip_cb.o The linux dirver=20
redhatx.x\makefile Makefile for generating driver object file
=20
Installation Procedure:
-----------------------
=20
1. During installation of Linux, make sure that the "Development"=20
selectionare (or C Development and Development Libraries for=20
Redhat 6.0) and "Kernel Development" selectionare and =
"Workstation"=20
selectionare choosen under "Component to Install" window. This=20
will copy the C compiler and kernel development component into=20
the system for compiling the driver. For RedHat 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, =
please=20
upgrade PCMCIA-CS to version 3.1.19 (Please see note at the bottom
for how to upgrade to version 3.1.19). For RedHat 6.0, 6.1 user, =
We=20
recommend you to upgrade your system to 6.2 or 7.0, because it is =
robust.
2. Also in the Network Configuration window during installation, you
will be asked if you want to configure LAN (not dailup) networking
for your installed system. Answer YES.
3. Login as root.
4. Insert the Installation CDROM, and mount the disk into the system =
with=20
the following command: mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
5. Copy the linux drivers from the CDROM into the system harddrive =
with the
following command. Five files will be copied: tulip.c, pci-scan.h, =
kerncomp.h,
tulip_cb.o, makefile.
Command: cp /mnt/cdrom/linux/redhatx.x/* .
6. Compile tulip.c by executing "make" command at the prompt.
The following command will be executed.
=20
for redhat 6.x
gcc -DCARDBUS -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 =
-c tulip.c \
-o tulip_cb.o -I/usr/src/linux/pcmcia-cs-3.1.19/include
=20
for redhat 7.0
gcc -DCARDBUS -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 =
-c tulip.c \
-o tulip_cb.o -I/usr/src/linux/pcmcia-cs-3.1.19/include \
-I/usr/src/linux/include
=20
=20
7. Find the names of the files in the /lib/modules directory. you =
might see the=20
following directory. eg "2.2.14"...
8. Copy the newly compiled tulip.o into the latest kernel's modules.
for redhat 6.0
cp tulip_cb.o /lib/modules/2.2.5-15/net/tulip_cb.o
cp tulip_cb.o /lib/modules/2.2.5-15/pcmcia/tulip_cb.o
=20
for redhat 6.1
cp tulip_cb.o /lib/modules/2.2.12-20/net/tulip_cb.o
cp tulip_cb.o /lib/modules/2.2.12-20/pcmcia/tulip_cb.o
=20
for redhat 6.2
cp tulip_cb.o /lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0/net/tulip_cb.o
cp tulip_cb.o /lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0/pcmcia/tulip_cb.o
for redhat 7.0
cp tulip_cb.o /lib/modules/2.2.16-22/net/tulip_cb.o
cp tulip_cb.o /lib/modules/2.2.16-22/pcmcia/tulip_cb.o
9. Use vi or emac editor to append the following line into=20
/etc/pcmcia/config
card "NETGEAR FA511 CardBus Mobile Adapter"
manfid 0x022d, 0x511A
bind "tulip_cb"
=20
10. reboot system.
11. You can check if the driver is properly activating the card using
the "dmesg" command right after system bootup.
***Note***
How to upgrade to PCMCIA-CS-3.1.19 from old version on RedHat 6.0 =20
1. Find the PCMCIA-CS-3.1.19 package pcmcia-cs-3.1.19.tar.gz on
CD-ROM, you can also find it from website =
ftp://ftp.tux.org/util/pcmcia .=20
2. Copy pcmcia-cs-3.1.19.tar.gz to the directory /usr/src/linux
3. Uncompress the package using the following command
tar xvfz pcmcia-cs-3.1.19.tar.gz
this will generate the directory ./pcmcia-cs-3.1.19
=20
4. Change to the directory pcmcia-cs-3.1.19
5. Execute the following commands
make clean
make config
make all
make install
these will upgrade PCMCIA-CS to version 3.1.19
=20
6. Execute the following commands to restart PCMCIA service
/etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start
end of instructions
My problem occurs after I copy the files from the cdrom to the =
harddrive. I use the 'make' command but I get the message=20
"make: Nothing to be done for 'all'.". If anyone can help me that would =
be great. If I left out any important info tell me and I'll try to find =
it. C'mon someone help a poor kid out. thanks
