Caldera* OpenLinux 3.1
======================

  Installing Intel ANS
  --------------------

  In Caldera OpenLinux* 3.1, the super-user's executable path does not 
  include /usr/sbin/, which is the default location selected by the makefile
  for Intel ANS installation. This causes problems later during the 
  configuration stage. To solve this, either permanently add /usr/sbin to 
  root's executable path, or modify the makefile to set BIN_DIR to a 
  preferred directory that is super-user specific and that appears in $PATH.

  Compiling Intel Drivers on Itanium(TM)-Based Systems
  ----------------------------------------------------

  When compiling the e100 and e1000 drivers, various unresolved symbol 
  errors may appear. These messages may be disregarded as the drivers will 
  install and function properly on Caldera OpenLinux 3.1 Itanium(TM)-based 
  systems.


SuSE* 7.1
=========

  Compiling Intel ANS or PROCfg on the 2.4.0 Kernel
  -------------------------------------------------

  When trying to compile Intel ANS on the 2.4.0 kernel on SuSE* 7.1 systems,
  a compilation failure occurs, and a message regarding a missing config.h 
  file is displayed. This failure occurs because the kernel source trees 
  supplied, Linux-2.4.0.SuSE and Linux-2.4.0-4GB, are both empty and do not
  contain the necessary config.h and version.h files. A possible solution is
  to install either a new kernel from http://www.kernel.org or a new kernel
  tree package supplied by SuSE.

  When installing and compiling openssl, a prerequisite for PROCfg, a 
  compilation failure occurs, and a message regarding a missing errno.h file 
  is displayed. This is another instance of the missing kernel source tree 
  described above for ANS. Use the solution above to restore the missing 
  file.


SuSE 7.3
========

  Compiling Intel Drivers
  -----------------------

  When trying to compile Intel e100, e1000, and ANS drivers on SuSE 7.3 
  systems, a compilation failure occurs due to a missing version.h file. As a 
  workaround, issue the following command at the root directory:

  copy /boot/vmlinux.version.h/lib/modules/'uname -r'/build/include/linux/version.h


SuSE 8.0 Personal
=================

  Compiling Intel Drivers on the 2.4.18 Kernel
  --------------------------------------------

  When trying to compile Intel e100, e1000, and ANS drivers on the 2.4.18 
  kernel on SuSE 8.0 systems a compilation failure occurs, and a message 
  regarding a mismatch between the running kernel and the kernel source tree 
  configuration appears. By default, SuSE installs the 2.4.18-64GB-SMP 
  kernel while the kernel source tree is configured for 2.4.18-4GB. A 
  possible solution is to issue the following commands:

  	cd /usr/src/linux/include/linux/
	mv version.h version.h.old
	cp /boot/vmlinuz.version.h version.h
	mv autoconf.h autoconf.h.old
	cp /boot/vmlinuz.autoconf.h autoconf.h

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.
