Driver Installation Guide for Linux ========================================= Introduction ============ This document describes the procedure to install driver on Linux for AEF-360TX Family PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter. Location of Driver : \LINUX\RTL8139.C Installation procedure ====================== The recommended kernel version is 2.2.X. You should also comfirm the Linux kernel is built with network and module supports. Other required packages (libraries, linker, ...) with the kernel version can be found in the Document\Changes file of the Linux kernel source . 1. Now enter the following commands at the UNIX prompt. Remember, UNIX is case sensitive. mkdir /temp mcopy a:rtl8139.c /temp Note: a. copies from DOS disk to current working directory. b. 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 A. Slackware --------- 1) Run netconfig to set you network parameter (like ip, gateway), This will create '/etc/rc.d/inet1' and 'inet2' files. 2) 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/rtl8139.o ex: insmod /usr/src/linux/modules/rtl8139.o (must before bind protocal) Note: parameter can be added by adding options=... behind the istrruction ex: full duplex::(bit 4 of 'options') 'insmod rtl8139.o options=16' (run 'lsmod' to see if the module is inserted) shutdown -h now (then your driver will work every time you boot.) B. RedHat ------ 1) You must create or modify /etc/rc.modules to insmod driver. This file will run at boot time. add a line in rc.modules: cd /etc/rc.d/rc.modules vi rc.modules insmod /your driver' path/rtl8139.o chmod 755 /etc/rc.modules ex: insmod /usr/src/linux/modules/rtl8139.o Note: parameter can be added by adding options=... behind the istrruction ex: full duplex::(bit 4 of 'options') 'insmod rtl8139.o options=16' (run 'lsmod' to see if the module is inserted) 2) Use 'netconf' to configure you network environment. 3) Reboot your system. 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.
