A. Get source Code and produce a binary code
=============================================
Step 1 : Get the source code(if_al.c and if_alreg.h) from the following site

	http://www.freebsd.org/~wpaul/ADMtek/3.0

Step 2 : Build compiler environment on your FreeBSD system.

Step 3 : Compile source code to produce a binary code.


** Note **
   It will work with either FreeBSD 3.2 or 3.3. If you have 3.3-RELEASE,
   replace /sys/pci/if_al.c and /sys/pci/if_alreg.h with the new versions
   from the web site, then just compile a new kernel.

   For FreeBSD-current, the driver is already there: you can install a 
   -current snapshot from:

  ftp://current.freebsd.org:/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/i386/4.0-19991012-CURRENT
Download Driver Pack

How To Update Drivers Manually

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.
