[ale] Linksys & rh6.2

[Michael Smith]

What version is the card. Mine is a V4.x.  If it's a version 4.x, you will
have to build the tulip driver yourself in Redhat 6.2.  It is supported in
Redhat 7.1 without compiling.

Heres's how to do it in Redhat 6.2:

Download pci-scan.h, pci-scan.c, kern_compat.h, and tulip.c from
http://www.scyld.com/network/tulip.html

Assuming everything is in the same directory, compile the drivers using the
following:

gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -O6 -c tulip.c
gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -O6 -c pci-scan.c

Install the drivers as follows:

install -m 644 pci-scan.o /lib/modules/`uname -r`/net/
install -m 644 tulip.o /lib/modules/`uname -r`/net/

Add the following lines to your /etc/conf.modules file:

alias eth0 tulip
options tulip full_duplex=0 debug=0

Hopefully this helps.....

Mike

Good Morning,

Has anyone gotten Linksys LNE100TX Ethernet card
(http://www.linksys.com/products/product.asp?prid=31&grid=10) working in
the Red Hat 6.2 Linux environment?  If so would you be so kind to email
me the binary or rpm form of the driver.  I've tried compiling the
driver/source code that is provided but I have not had any success in
compiling it. I have never been able to go beyond make.  I've attached
the procedures provided by Linksys. Thank you.

john
