Hi Jacques Hi all Thank you very much for compiling the drivers. But there are two problems:
1. BCM driver The BCM5700 driver (http://leaf.sf.net/devel/jnilo/bering/latest/modules/2.4.18/net/bcm) doesn't load. A lot of "Unresolved Symbols". I tried to compile (just for a test) the driver on my SuSE 7.3 system but with the 2.4.18 kernel includes and bering rc4 kernel config. This driver loads! But as expected, it doesn't work properly. (Kernel Panic when sending/recieving a packet, I'm sure it's because of too different gcc versions) I don't know why your driver which is compiled on a Bering development box (woody i guess) doesn't load at all. What I did to compile it under SuSE? I didn't use the makefile, instead, I copied all the flags out of the makefile and compiled the driver by hand (gcc -DMODULE....-I/usr/src/linux2418). Both drivers consists of more than one .c file. After studying the makefile, I saw that I have to 'ld' the different .o after gcc'ing, to get one module: ld -i b57um.o b57proc.o ..... -o bcm5700.o this worked for me. I used this method because the makefile always tried to include the SuSE kernel. 2. e100 driver This driver loads and works without problems. BUT I have more than 16 Intel NIC's in this system! 5 Compaq NC3134 4Port NIC's. The driver stops searching further after 16 NIC's, but I need 20.... I searched the driver sources and I found the reason: e100_config.h: MAX_NIC=16 I compiled this driver (again, just for testing, already expecting that it won't work properly) and now, it loads all my 20 NIC's. Would it be possible to compile both again? (for rc4) Thanks Have a nice evening -- Sandro Minola | LEAF Developer (http://leaf.sourceforge.net) mailto:sandro@;minola.ch | mailto:sminola@;swissonline.ch http://www.minola.ch | http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/sminola - My PGP key is at: http://www.minola.ch/pgp/sminola.asc -- > -----Original Message----- > From: Jacques Nilo [mailto:jnilo@;users.sourceforge.net] > Sent: Wednesday, October 23, 2002 10:47 PM > To: Sandro Minola > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Two drivers to compile: e100, e1000 from CPQ > > > Le Mardi 22 Octobre 2002 17:31, vous avez écrit : > > Hi Jacques > > > > Can you compile the following two modules for me?
