I'm trying to install a driver for my ethernet card on
my Linux PC. I have RedHat8.0 kernel 2.4
I have the driver files provided by the card
manufacturer "www.sweex.com". It's a tar.gz file
containg five files (kern_compat.h , Makefile ,
mtd80x.c , pci-scan.c , pci-scan.h). I followed the
instructions to the letter but when I type in the
"make" command it returns an error message: "make: ***
[pci-scan.o] Error 1" (the full make output is given
at the bottom).
I can see that Linux detected the network card in
controll center (in KDE) ubder: information->PCI
00:0b.0 Ethernet controller: MYSON Technology Inc
SURECOM EP-320x-s 100/10M Ethernet PCI Adapter....
Does that mean that I don't nead to indtall the driver
or is it still nesessary? Can you see from the make
output what the problem is?
It's a shame to have the right driver and still not be
abel to install the card :(
Please help
PS. On windows 98&2000 it was recognized with no
problems. I'm actually using it now to get on the
internet.
My system:
Celeron 400 MHZ
128+64 MB RAM
