Driver will automatically load and configure at next boot time. + +Compiling the Driver +==================== +In Linux, NIC drivers are most commonly configured as loadable modules. +The approach of building a monolithic kernel has become obsolete. The driver +can be compiled as part of a monolithic kernel, but is strongly discouraged. +The remainder of this section assumes the driver is built as a loadable module. +In the Linux environment, it is a good idea to rebuild the driver from the +source instead of relying on a precompiled version. This approach provides +better reliability since a precompiled driver might depend on libraries or +kernel features that are not present in a given Linux installation. + +The 3 files necessary to build Linux device driver are dl2k.c, dl2k.h and +Makefile. To compile, the Linux installation must include the gcc compiler, +the kernel source, and the kernel headers. The Linux driver supports Linux +Kernels 2.4.7. Copy the files to a directory and enter the following command +to compile and link the driver: + +CD-ROM drive +------------ + +:: + + [root@XXX /] mkdir cdrom + [root@XXX /] mount -r -t iso9660 -o conv=auto /dev/cdrom /cdrom + [root@XXX /] cd root + [root@XXX /root] mkdir dl2k + [root@XXX /root] cd dl2k + [root@XXX dl2k] cp /cdrom/linux/dl2k.tgz /root/dl2k + [root@XXX dl2k] tar xfvz dl2k.tgz + [root@XXX dl2k] make all + +Floppy disc drive +----------------- + +:: + + [root@XXX /] cd root + [root@XXX /root] mkdir dl2k + [root@XXX /root] cd dl2k + [root@XXX dl2k] mcopy a:/linux/dl2k.tgz /root/dl2k + [root@XXX dl2k] tar xfvz dl2k.tgz + [root@XXX dl2k] make all + +Installing the Driver +===================== + +Manual Installation +------------------- + + Once the driver has been compiled, it must be loaded, enabled, and bound + to a protocol stack in order to establish network connectivity.

The following description + is based on a Red Hat 6.0/7.0 distribution, but it can easily be ported to + other distributions as well. + +Red Hat v6.x/v7.x +----------------- + 1. Copy dl2k.o to the network modules directory, typically + /lib/modules/2.x.x-xx/net or /lib/modules/2.x.x/kernel/drivers/net. + 2. Locate the boot module configuration file, most commonly in the + /etc/modprobe.d/ directory. Add the following lines:: + + alias ethx dl2k + options dl2k + + where ethx will be eth0 if the NIC is the only ethernet adapter, eth1 if + one other ethernet adapter is installed, etc. Refer to the table in the + previous section for the list of optional parameters. + 3. Locate the network configuration scripts, normally the + /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts directory, and create a configuration + script named ifcfg-ethx that contains network information. + 4. Note that for most Linux distributions, Red Hat included, a configuration + utility with a graphical user interface is provided to perform steps 2 + and 3 above. + + +Parameter Description +===================== +You can install this driver without any additional parameter. However, if you +are going to have extensive functions then it is necessary to set extra +parameter.
