After going to Asix Corp web site I got the linux driver for it. The package is composed by :
8390.c -> C program file;
CONFIG -> something like /etc/pcmcia/config file;
gen1 -> script file
gen2 -> script file
pcnet_cs.c -> C program file;
readme.txt -> explanations text file
I would like that read the README.TXT file to help me in interpret it for a mandrake way (directories or commands) to get this instalation (compilation).
================================= readme.txt =========================
AX88190 LINUX DRIVER INSTALL
Note: this driver for linux 2.2.x
1. copy driver to /asix
# mcopy a:/* /asix
*************************>>>>> ok I made this in a known place !
2. download pcmcia-cs-3.1.8.tar.gz from hyper.stanford.edu
read PCMCIA-HOWTO file & install it
# mcopy pcmcia-cs-3.1.8.tar.gz /usr/src/linux
# tar zxvf pcmcia-cs-3.1.8.tar.gz
# cd /usr/src/linux/pcmcia-cs-3.1.8
# make config
# make all; make install
*************************>>>>> I find that this is not necessary in time that in / usr/src/linux exists the pcmcia package
3. add the following lines into /etc/pcmcia/config
card "ASIX AX88190 Based Fast Ethernet PCMCIA Card"
version "ASIX", "AX88190"
bind "pcnet_cs"
* ASIX: Manufacture ID in CIS
* AX88190: Product ID in CIS
*************************>>>>>I do this
4. you can copy pcnet_cs.c from /usr/src/pcmcia-cs-3.1.8/clients/ to /
*************************>>>>> I don't understand this in any way !!!!!!!!
5. please check pcnet_cs.c has the following lines:
static hw_info_t hw_info[]={
.
.
{ /* ASIX AX88190 */ 0x0400, 0x88, 0x19, 0x00, 0 },
.
.
}
PS.0x0400 : The Node Address location
0x88, 0x19, 0x00 : Node Address
*************************>>>>> in which file I must do this: in that one supplied or that existing in
/ usr/src/linux/pcmcia... /clients ?
6.# cd /asix
# chmod +x gen1 gen2
*************************>>>>> ok
7.# gen1
# gen2
*************************>>>>>
8.# reboot
============================= gen1 & gen2 ====================================
<<<<<gen1>>>>>>
gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux -I/usr/src/pcmcia-cs-3.1.29/clients -c -O6 pcnet_cs.c
cp pcnet_cs.o /lib/modules/2.4.8-34.1mdk/pcmcia/pcnet_cs.o
*************************>>>>> I had adapted this to my mdk 8.1 but didn't functioning
<<<<<gen2>>>>>>
gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux -I/usr/src/linux/drivers/net -c -O6 8390.c
cp 8390.o /lib/modules/2.0.30/net/8390.o
===========================================================================
WHAT IS WRONG ?
WHAT CAN I DO ?
thanks in advance.
Marcos.
