Mandrake 8.0 and Linksys LN100-TX

[Obsolete]

How in the world do you get this thing to install. It keeps telling me that modversion.h is nonexistant.

[Mr.Goodbytes]

I'll see if i can find anything on it, but i thought that the LNE100TX (I'm assuming that's what you meant) was deemed compatible with linux right on the box in fact.

I am using Mandrake 8.0 with the same NIC and it set it up when I installed the OS without a problem!

And it's a good thing because I am not Linux ready!!!

I have 7.2 and I had problems with it but thanks to pbharris, I got it working.
I have now reinstalled about 5 times.
Steps to making sure the NIC install will work. (Acordding to me)
1. Make sure almost any headers packages are installed.
If useing RPMDrake I make sure that things under develoment>C
and >C++ are installed.
2. I have to have three files that are i guess updated verisons or something. (the site is down now but email me if you want them)
3. under modules.conf a few more options than what would be expected.

I'm having the same problem with Mandrake 7.2 and the same card. Do you remember what the file names are?

Follow this page directions (http://www.scyld.com/network/tulip.html)





When you see this


When updating a single driver you will need to build pci-scan.o along with the specific driver.o file. This means that in addition to the driver.c file, you must download pci-scan.c, pci-scan.h, and kern_compat.h


Download those files and put them in with all you other driver file that your trying to compile.


Then try.


make


insmod pci-scan.o


insmod tulip.0


depmod -a




be sure to put this in your /etc/modules.conf file


alias eth0 tulip


options tulip debug=1 options=3,1 full_duplex=1,0


then try

ifup eth0
