INSTALLATION
---------------
This version of the driver requires a base Linux Kernel V2.2.x & V2.4.X,
basic utilities and the C development system.
To install the driver, login as root, and extract the files into an
appropriate directory.
# mkdir TC902
# cd TC902
To create a new driver object module, run
# make
To make the driver load when the system boots up, the following lines
needs to be put in any of the startup scripts like /etc/rc.d/rc.local
or /etc/rc.d/init.d/network
# /sbin/insmod tc902x.o
# /sbin/ifconfig <interface-name> <ip-addr>
The driver can be dynamically loaded and unloaded from a running kernel
with the following commands,
# insmod tc902x
# rmmod tc902x
To install and test the driver, shutdown the network stack, install
the driver, and re-start the startup the stack again.
# sh /etc/rc.d/init.d/network stop
# insmod tc902x
# sh /etc/rc.d/init.d/network start
PS.If you Linux is RedHat 7.0,RedHat 7.0 is a mixed distribution.
That is, the version of the kernel is 2.2.16, but the version
of its include header files is 2.4.0.Therefore, compiling a
driver becomes a never-succeed problem. To overcome the problem,
the include header files must be changed from 2.4.0 to 2.2.16.
To do that, you have to follow procedures below.
cd /usr/include
mv asm asm2.4
mv linux linux2.4
ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/asm asm
ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/linux linux
This essentially makes the header files be the 2.2.16 header
files. Note that /usr/src/linux is typically where the kernel
sources are installed.
For this reason, you have to make sure the kernel sources are
installed there.
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.
