====================================================================== AON-325 10/100 Base-TX Fast Ethernet Adapter Driver for Linux Slackware 3.50 (Kernel version: 2.1.10) ====================================================================== Most Linux does not support network after installation, so recompiling kernel is usually required to add networking capability. We suggest the following procedure to install AON-325 on linux : step 1: make sure that kernel source code is included (check /usr/src/linux) step 2: recompile kernel: cd to /usr/src/linux, them type 'make menuconfig' select the following options(mark them as '*') .Loadable module support->Enable loadable module support .Networking options->TCP/IP networking .Network device support->Ethernet(10 or 100Mbit) .Network device support->Realtek 8129/8139 (not 8019/8029!) support step 3: .after options are selected, exit and execute make dep;make clean;make zImage; .if no serious error happens, the new kernel 'zImage' will be in /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/zImage. .copy this file to root. .modify '/etc/lilo.conf' file to make system boot from this new kernel image. .run 'lilo' (Note: When you recompile kernel everytime, the 'lilo' also must run everytime.) .reboot step 4: when system boots, the driver will be load. (use 'dmesg' to check the boot message, you can see the string "RealTek RTL8139". Here, Realtek is chip vendor.) step 5: run netconfig to setup TCP/IP (run 'ifconfig' or 'netstat -i' to see if there is a interface 'eth0') -- End Of File --Download Driver Pack
