Here is the last method I tried.
I ran into problems with the gcc command line. Basically I could not create
a new tulip.o module.
The downside is I am feeling sick now. I am thinking flu. Maybe I better
try this again when I am sick
Thanks so far though,
Jerold
Article # : 116 How to install the Linksys EtherFast 10/100 LAN Card under
Linux
Supported Operating Systems:
Linux kernel version 2.2.x
First mount the second floppy diskette that came with the network adapter.
Here is how it should be done:
Log in as root, admin, or superuser and type this at a terminal prompt:
mount –t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
This will mount the floppy diskette so that you can access it’s files and
directories. Make sure the diskette is not write protected!
Change directories to the "Linux" directory on the diskette?
cd linux
You will need to copy the "tulip.c" file to the correct directory on the
hardrive.
cp tulip.c /usr/src/linux/net/inet
This will copy the tulip.c file to the directory inet, if you do not have
this directory you can make it by doing this.
mkdir inet
You should now have a directory named inet located in the net directory.
Compile the tulip.c file with the compile command:
gcc –DMODULE –D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet –Wall –Wstrict-prototype
s –O6 –c tulip.c `[ -f /usr/include/linux/modversions.h ] &&
echo –DMODVERSIONS`
PAY ATTENTION TO EVERY LETTER AND CAPATILIZATION!!!
You should now have a file called tulip.o in the same inet directory, you
must copy the tulip.o file to the proper directory within Linux so it can be
loaded, and then activated.
cp tulip.o /lib/modules/kernel_version/net
You should now have the tulip.o file located in
/lib/modules/kernel_version/net (kernel_version is the current version of
the kernel i.e.: 2.2.5-15)
Issue the command to activate the modules within the net directory:
depmod –a
Then type the following command to probe the tulip.o.
modprobe tulip.o
Now you should be able to run netconf to setup the eth0 interface with the
local host name, ip address, subnet mask, and module type.
Host: linuxbox
IP Address: 192.168.1.1
Subnetmask: 255.255.255.0
Module type: tulip
Quit and accept and activate the changes
Type the following command at the command prompt:
ifconfig
You should see eth0 as one of the interfaces, this means the card is
installed under Linux.

I have the same card at home, and I was able to use it with the driver from
the website. I don't remember what version that I used though. The driver
on the installation disk didn't work at all, but the one I downloaded does.
Mine built fine, and then installing it was simple, using the instructions
they provided.
what have you tried to do so far? Were you able to compile the code at all?
