CardBus Ethernet Card Installation on Linux 1. If you are using RedHat 7.0, you must download the new rpm at http://www.rpmfind.net to replace the old pcmcia-cs-3.1.19 to pcmcia-cs-3.1.24-1.i586.rpm..rpm, which can be found at "RedHat_7.0/sourcecode/" To unzip: "rpm -ivh pcmcia-cs-3.1.24-1.i586.rpm..rpm" 2. Compile the source code copy the source code rtl8139.c and kern_compat.h pci-scan.h to a directory . and exectue "gcc -DCARDBUS -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c -I/usr/src/linux/include rtl8139.c -o realtek_cb.o -I/usr/src/linux/pcmcia-cs-3.1.19/include/" This will create a realtek_cb.o file Note: When copying the source code rtl8139.c and kern_compath.h pci-scan.h to a directory in Linux, please make sure the file names stay as kern_compath.h. or run "\. make.bat"---> make.bat = "gcc -DCARDBUS -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c -I/usr/src/linux/include rtl8139.c -o realtek_cb.o -I/usr/src/linux/pcmcia-cs-3.1.19/include/" This will create a realtek_cb.o file 3. Copy driver : -->copy the file "realtek_cb.o" to "lib/module/2.2.16-22/pcmcia" 4.Edit config: -->Add the following 5 lines to the file "/etc/pcmcia/config" # # Device driver definitions # drvice "realtek_cb" class "network" module "cb_enabler", "realtek_cb" : : # # CardBus Cards # card "10/100 CardBus Card" manfid 0x0000, 0x021b bind "realtek_cb" The value 0x0000, 0x021b can be read by typing "cardctl ident" on console with one card socket 5.Restart the computer "/etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia restart" 6.
