quick Linux question by holle2004-01-15 08:58:40
  a little bit more info needed by FireballMatt2004-01-15 08:59:52
    have it saved... by holle2004-01-15 09:03:58
      are you using command line by FireballMatt2004-01-15 09:22:36
        yes by holle2004-01-15 09:26:47
          ok what you will need to do by FireballMatt 2004-01-15 10:27:00
Check in /usr/src/linux/include for fa311 (you can do 'ls /usr/src/linux/include | grep fa311')...if its there then do

gcc -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O -m486 -c -I/usr/src/linux/include fa311.c

then copy the fa311.o file to /lib/modules/(kernelversion)/net

then run depmod -a

then run modprobe fa311

You will then want to run netconf or something simliar to configure it

What this does is compile the driver on your own system

IF you have the fa311.o downloaded and placed in your /lib/modules/2.2.17/net directory already you can just run depmod -a followed by modprobe fa311 (note no extension on modprobes!) Personally I would go with the first approach, but the second may be easier for you if you already have the file.
