Introduction:
=============
Below are instructions for install linux driver.You must complie the source
code to generate driver.o and use insmod to insert driver.o as module .
You can use "netconfig" utilities to setup network parameters for the driver.
Contents of the Subdirectory:
=============================
fet3043.c The linux driver source code
fet3043.o The linux driver but maybe cannot be used in various version
linux.txt This file.
Installation:
=============
1)Now enter the following commands at the UNIX prompt. Remember, UNIX is case sensitive.
mkdir /temp
mcopy a:fet3043.c /temp (copies from DOS disk to current working directory)
(mcopy is mtools if you don't have mtools,you can mount -t /dev/fd0 and use cp command)
mcopy a:trans /temp
cd /temp
chmod 777 * (add all right to all file)
2) run trans file to complie and copy driver to linux source code:
/temp/trans
3) Run netconfig to set you network parameter(like ip,gateway),This will create
'/etc/rc.d/inet1' and 'inet2' files.
4) you must modify /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 to insmod driver.This file will run at boot time.
add a line in rc.inet1:
cd /etc/rc.d
vi rc.inet1
insmod /your driver'path/fet3043.o
ex:insmod /usr/src/linux/modules/fet3043.o (must before bind protocal)
shutdown -h now (then your driver will work every time you boot.)
Note:make sure that your kernel is built with network, fast_ethernet and module
support. Otherwise, you have to rebuild your kernel.
1:go to /usr/src/linux directory
2:run 'make menuconfig' or 'make config'
3:mark the options list above.
4:exit and rebuild your kernel.
make dep;make clean;make zImage
the file 'zImage' will be at /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/zImage
5:modify /etc/lilo.conf.(this file specify where kernel image is)
6:run 'lilo'
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.
