                   Driver Installation Guide for LINUX
                =========================================

Introduction
============
    This document describes the procedure to install driver on Linux for
    FriendlyNET PCI595 Fast Ethernet Adapter.

    Location of Driver : \LINUX\SIS900.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:sis900.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

    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/sis900.o

           ex: insmod /usr/src/linux/modules/sis900.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 bzImage
       the file 'bzImage' will be at /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage

    5. modify /etc/lilo.conf. (this file specify where kernel image is)

    6. run 'lilo'

  • 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.
