D-Link dge-530t gigabit NIC driver instillation?

#1 Post by kencox »

Hi All,

Newbie here!

I've just installed this card but not sure how to get it going under Debian Sarge (2.4.27-2-686)??

There are Linux drivers on the disk, but i get as far as the "make all" stage in their instructions and it turns into an errorfest...

3 INSTALLATION
================
Install linux driver as following command:

0. tar xvzf sk98lin.tgz, then goto sk98lin dir.
1. make all
2. insmod sk98lin.o
3. ifconfig eth0 up 10.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.0.0.0
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^\ ^^^^^^^^\
IP NETMASK
Now eth0 should active, you can test it by "ping" or get more information by
"ifconfig". If tested ok, continue the next step.

The "ls /proc/net/sk98lin" command will show you the interface name to be
eth0, eth1 etc.

4. cp sk98lin.o /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net
5. Add the following lines to /etc/modules.conf:
alias eth0 sk98lin
6. Run "netconfig" or "netconf" to create configuration script ifcfg-eth0
located at /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts or create it manually.
7. Driver will automatically load and configure at next boot time.
***

How do i go about installing these drivers?? (how to get the "make all" command to run ok??)

Are there any drivers already include with Sarge?? (I read that 2.6 kernel has them??)

Cheers,
Kenny

The 2.6 kernel has the sk98lin driver. I use this driver for my on board ethernet (3Com 3c940 chipset). It was useless with a 2.4 kernel, but once I updated to 2.6 (just last week) it worked perfectly.
