Greetings:
I just set up a dual nic system with the linksys cards. Notes:
1. There's a nifty step by step here:
http://www.rabbitte.com/tech/linux/debian_notes.html#LinkSys_Adapter_Setup
It didn't work for me, but it might be useful to someone.
2. I had no problems getting the nics to work with the tulip.o module that
ships with the debian potato release.
3. In spite of #2, I wanted to compile the tulip source from linksys just
because it seemed the 'right thing to do'. This caused lots of grief:
a. I installed the kernel sources which ended up under
/usr/src/kernel-source-xxxx.
b. I tried to compile the module per instructions and got a screenful of
errors about headers not found.
c. I installed the kernel header package which also ended up under
/usr/src/ in a directory named kernel-headers-xxxx or something like that.
I did see the 'missing' headers underneath the kerner-header directory but
I could never get gcc to see them.
I'd really like to know the 'proper' way to get this working! Note:
linksys doesn't provide a makefile, just a 'c' file and the command line to
compile the module. The 'how-to' in my item #1 above has the command line
modified so it should work with a debian based system.
Good luck!
