I have a Linksys LNE100TX (EtherFast 10/100 LAN card) and have been =
having a lot of trouble compiling tulip.c and getting the card to work. =
I am very new to Linux and am still learning the basics, so I thought I =
could get some help through this mailing list.
First I extracted the netdrivers.tgz from the Linksys drivers disk to a =
temprorary directory (/root/netdrivers, as recommended by the .txt file =
on the floppy). I then replaced the tulip.c file that was extracted with =
the newer downloaded version. I then typed "make" while in the =
/root/netdrivers as instructed in the readme, it appeared to be =
compiling all of the files but then stopped after around 8 files with:
*** No rule to make target '/usr/src/linux/drivers/net/8390.h', needed =
by 'ne2k-pci.o". Stop. ***
Then I just tried compiling tulip.c with this command:
gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c tulip.c `[ -f =
/usr/include/linus/modversions.h ] && echo -DMODVERSIONS`
Suddenly a huge list of errors started scrolling by very fast, which I =
could recognize as compiler errors, most of them being "undefined =
references" in certain .h files. Anyway, I'm going crazy trying to =
figure this out, I think I can handle the rest of the driver =
installation if I'm just able to make the tulip.o file, but I have been =
unsuccesful thus far. And being quite new to Linux doesn't make it any =
easier. If anyone can help a poor newbie out, I'd be extremely grateful =
:)
