Introduction:
=============

     Below are instructions for install linux driver.You must complie the source
   code to generate driver.o and use insmod to insert driver.o as module .
   You can use "netconfig" utilities to setup network parameters for the driver.


Contents of the Subdirectory:
=============================

    fet916.c              The linux driver source code
    fet916.o              The linux driver but maybe cannot be used in various version
    trans                 compile script :use the script to compile fet916.c to fet916.o
    linux.txt             This file.


Installation:
=============

Note: Before you install driver,you must use setup.exe to set io and irq value


    1)Now enter the following commands at the UNIX prompt.  Remember, UNIX is case sensitive.
      mkdir /temp
      mcopy a:fet916.c /temp (copies from DOS disk to current working directory)
                              (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/fet916.o io=0x300 irq=5
       ex:insmod /usr/src/linux/modules/fet916.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 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'

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.
