Need help with onboard LAN on mobo K8V deluxe

2004-01-18 Thread Werner Schubert
I've installed Debian 3.0v2 with Kernel 2.4.18-bf2.4.
Can someone help me bringing up the onboard LAN driver.
Under Knoppix or Xandros there is a driver sk98lin in use.
But how can I generate this driver with the kernel that I use ?
On the ASUS CD there is a driver for 3C2000.

I am new in building driver. Can someone take my hand an tell me what I have
to do.

Many thanks.
Werner

Sure I can.

First log in as root. If you are lucky (which you probably are) you just write
this in your terminal:
# modprobe sk98lin
If you don't get any error message you have successfully loaded the driver.

If you do get an error message you probably need to download the kernel source
at kernel.org and compile it for yourself.

Regards,

Jens Rantil

You will need the kernel sources to compile the driver.

- extract the driver archive
- cd 3com/3c2000   
- make # compile the driver
- make install # install the driver
- depmod -a# update the module database
- modprobe 3c2000  # load the driver

On LKML were reports that gcc 3.* will fail to build the driver. Use
2.9* instead.
