Try adding -I/usr/src/linux/include to the command line.  Something like
this should do it:
gcc -DMODULE -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -I/usr/src/linux/include \
   -O6 -c natsemi.c

Keep that all on one line.  If modversion.s is there then this will tell
the compiler where to get it.

Re: Problem with netgear card

2001-05-19 Thread Michael Mueller

OK.  So after you install the kernel source package,
then it should include the .config used to make the
kernel image, and as was mentioned below, it should
also contain the modversions.h that was created by
"make menuconfig".

If you install the kernel package, then you should be
able to compile the netdrivers.

(Sorry about asking these questions, but I am not able
to get a Debian running yet.  I haven't learned enough
about disk partioning, file system assignment, and the
boot process to make the correct choices to allow my
disk based boot to get beyond "LI".  It's cool how
each letter in LILO means something during its run. 
But I digress.)

Kernel source is not part of the defalt load for Debian.  You have to choose
that package after you have the system installed.

I never ran mrproper.  The last time I did that I had trouble bringing
everything back to a good compile so I don't do that any more.  Admittedly,
that was a long time ago and many kernels back.

I have looked in the directory that you said and I have a modversions.h file. 
So, I do not know what I can do about this problem.

OK, lets start by assuming you have the kernel source in /usr/src/linux/
When you ran 'make config' (or menuconfig or xconfig, whatever) you
generated a file /usr/src/linux/.config and
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h  modversions.h is the key
file.  When you ran 'make mrproper' you deleted both these files (and
whatever else was created by make config).

So in order to create /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h, you
need to re-run make config.  You don't need to re-compile the kernel at
all.

What I recommend doing is saving a copy of /usr/src/linux/.config, so if
you ever do need to re-generate things like modversions.h in an
idendical configuration as before, you can just put the file in place
(/usr/src/linux/.config) and run 'make oldconfig'.

The kernel needs to be configured (i.e. make config || make menuconfig
|| make xconfig must have been run).  The modversions.h file you
mentioned (in a long list of other garbage, all of which I chopped
out) is automatically generated by the configuration process.  You need
to configure the kernel precisely the way it was configured when you

Did you compile the driver monolithically into the kernel?  If not,
then you should check your /etc/modules.conf file to see if you have
associated the driver module with the ethernet device.  Also, are you
sure you have the correct driver?  This list has mentioned the tulip,
natsemi and ne drivers being associated with Netgear cards similar
to yours.

The stock kernel should work just fine if you configure the proper
module to load.

Err, no, the netgear FA-311 and 312 are not tulip cards.  The 310 is.
The 311 and 312 are based on the national semiconductor (nominal
semidestructor) DB83815 chip.  Completely different, not compatible, not
tulip based.

You actually can build your driver and not recompile the whole kernel.
You need to get the kernel sources that correspond with the kernel-image
you're running.  Get the source from the web page that other have
mentioned and follow the instructions for building it, taking care to
ensure that it gets its kernel includes from the directory containing
the Linux source for the kernel that you're running.  Then copy it to
the right location in /lib/modules/, run depmod -a, then 'modprobe
natsemi'

I have two netgear cards, and I think they are the fa311 (I could be
wrong though).  Mine are ISA cards, one in a Debian box and one in a
DOS/Win95 box.  To get the Debian one working I first put it in a DOS
box, booted with their driver disk and ran the setup utility.  I did
this to turn off PnP.  Then I put it in the Debian box and added the
following to /etc/modules.conf (actually to a different file under
/etc/modutils and ran update-modules) :

alias eth0 ne io=0x300

( I am not at the box right now, and it might have been 
alias eth0 ne2000 io=0x300  )

Everything has worked fine for me.  As others have suggested go to
Donald Becker's site (at scyld.com) and see what he says there.  He is
a smart guy who wrote all (or nearly all) the ethernet drivers for
linux.

HTH,

Re: Problem with netgear card

Addendum to earlier reply...

I made the same mistake - confusing the 311 and 310.

I am not sure if the natsemi driver needs the
pci-scan.o driver.  THe website site below will tell
all.

Sorry about that.

Re: Problem with netgear card

2001-05-17 Thread Michael Mueller
I recently spent lots of time on the LRP mailing list.
 THis topic was handled frequently.  Perhaps this is
not a Debian issue. Check out www.scyld.com for lots
of in-depth info on drivers.  My guess is that you
need the new pci-scan.o and the new tulip.o driver.

http://www.scyld.com/network/
http://www.scyld.com/network/tulip.html

I use a Linksys LNE100TX v4.1 in one of my machines. 
It uses the tulip.o driver.  But it needs the
pci-scan.o module too. (See scyld site for
explanation.)

method for installing:

// get netdrivers.tgz from scyld
// unzip/tar into a clean directory
// make sure /usr/src/linux is ready for compiling
// with the machine having the fa311 installed

make pci-scan.o
make tulip.o
cp *.o /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/net

// next lines can be in a script that is run during
// system initialization

/sbin/insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/net/pci-scan.o
/sbin/insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/net/tulip.o
/sbin/depmod -a

// config your driver

I have many dents in my skull from this topic.  Hope
you get through with less pain.

dont use the tulip driver as its only in use for the netgear fa310
what you need to use is the src for the natsemi driver

We'll have to hope the big brains have an idea

I've always just loaded the tulip module on install with those cards and sat 
back to enjoy the ride

Use the tulip module



Problem with netgear card

2001-05-17 Thread Brian Schramm
I have a new machine here with a netgear fa311 network card in it.  I want to
install Debian on it but the only drivers I can find are for Redhat.  Has
anyone gotten this card to work with Debian?

Thanks
