      redhatx.x\tulip.c       The linux driver source code file
      redhatx.x\pci-scan.h    The linux driver header file
      redhatx.x\kerncomp.h    The linux driver header file
      redhatx.x\tulip_cb.o    The linux dirver 
      redhatx.x\makefile      Makefile for generating driver object file
                  

  Installation Procedure:
  -----------------------
           
  1.  During installation of Linux, make sure that the "Development" 
      selectionare  (or C Development and Development Libraries for 
      Redhat 6.0) and "Kernel Development" selectionare and "Workstation" 
      selectionare choosen under "Component to Install" window. This 
      will copy the C compiler and kernel development component into 
      the system for compiling the driver. For RedHat 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, please 
      upgrade PCMCIA-CS to version 3.1.19 (Please see note at the bottom
      for how to upgrade to version 3.1.19). For RedHat 6.0, 6.1 user, We 
      recommend you to upgrade your system to 6.2 or 7.0, because it is robust.

  2.  Also in the Network Configuration window during installation, you
      will be asked if you want to configure LAN (not dailup) networking
      for your installed system.  Answer YES.

  3.  Login as root.

  4.  Insert the Installation CDROM, and mount the disk into the system with 
      the following command: mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

  5.  Copy the linux drivers from the CDROM into the system harddrive with the
      following command. Five files will be copied: tulip.c, pci-scan.h, kerncomp.h,
      tulip_cb.o, makefile.
      Command: cp /mnt/cdrom/linux/redhatx.x/* .

  6.  Compile tulip.c by executing "make" command at the prompt.
      The following command will be executed.
     
      for redhat 6.x
      gcc -DCARDBUS -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c tulip.c \
          -o tulip_cb.o -I/usr/src/linux/pcmcia-cs-3.1.19/include
          
      for redhat 7.0
      gcc -DCARDBUS -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c tulip.c \
          -o tulip_cb.o -I/usr/src/linux/pcmcia-cs-3.1.19/include \
          -I/usr/src/linux/include
          
   
  7.  Find the names of the files in the /lib/modules directory. you might see the 
      following directory. eg "2.2.14"...

  8.  Copy the newly compiled tulip.o into the latest kernel's modules.

      for redhat 6.0
      cp tulip_cb.o /lib/modules/2.2.5-15/net/tulip_cb.o
      cp tulip_cb.o /lib/modules/2.2.5-15/pcmcia/tulip_cb.o
      
      for redhat 6.1
      cp tulip_cb.o /lib/modules/2.2.12-20/net/tulip_cb.o
      cp tulip_cb.o /lib/modules/2.2.12-20/pcmcia/tulip_cb.o
      
      for redhat 6.2
      cp tulip_cb.o /lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0/net/tulip_cb.o
      cp tulip_cb.o /lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0/pcmcia/tulip_cb.o

      for redhat 7.0
      cp tulip_cb.o /lib/modules/2.2.16-22/net/tulip_cb.o
      cp tulip_cb.o /lib/modules/2.2.16-22/pcmcia/tulip_cb.o

  9.  Use vi or emac editor to append the following line into 
      /etc/pcmcia/config

      card "NETGEAR FA511 CardBus Mobile Adapter"
      manfid 0x022d, 0x511A
      bind "tulip_cb"
 
  10. reboot system.

  11. You can check if the driver is properly activating the card using
      the "dmesg" command right after system bootup.


  ***Note***

  How to upgrade to PCMCIA-CS-3.1.19 from old version on RedHat 6.0    

  1. Find the PCMCIA-CS-3.1.19 package pcmcia-cs-3.1.19.tar.gz on
     CD-ROM, you can also find it from website ftp://ftp.tux.org/util/pcmcia . 

  2. Copy pcmcia-cs-3.1.19.tar.gz to the directory /usr/src/linux

  3. Uncompress the package using the following command
         tar xvfz pcmcia-cs-3.1.19.tar.gz
     this will generate the directory ./pcmcia-cs-3.1.19
  
  4. Change to the directory pcmcia-cs-3.1.19

  5. Execute the following commands
         make clean
         make config
         make all
         make install
     these will upgrade PCMCIA-CS to version 3.1.19
  
  6. Execute the following commands to restart PCMCIA service
         /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia stop
         /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start
