INSTALLATION:
- copy the driver source code form floppy disk to a source directory.
#mkdir /usr/src/via
#mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt
#cp /mnt/via3043.c /usr/src/via/via3043.c
- do a "make config" in the directory /usr/src/linux/ to configure the
basic kernel. You should find the following options:
Enable loadable module support (CONFIG_MODULES) [N/n/?] y <--Yes
Networking Support (CONFIG_NET) [N/y/?] y <--Yes
PCI bios Support (CONFIG_PCI) [N/y/?] y <--Yes
Network device support (CONFIG_NETDEVICES) [Y/N/?] Y <--Yes
Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit) (CONFIG_NET_ETHERNET) [Y/n/?] n <--No
- do a "make dep" to set up all the dependencies correctly.
- do a "make zlilo" to compile your kernel.
- compile the file using the compile-command at the directory of the
via3043.c source file (/usr/src/via/).
compile-command:
"gcc -DMODVERSIONS -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet
-Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c via3043.c"
- login as "root", load the module using "insmod via3043.o". If it work
as expected you should add "insmod /usr/src/via/via3043.o" to
/etc/rc.d/rc.module
- reboot again
Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
