I have installed Debian three times previously, but I've always been able to install from the internet using 'compact' floppy kernel. Well, I don't know of ANY linux distribution that has a ready-to-use driver for the 3Com 3CR990-TX-97 server-class NIC, but 3Com offers the source code and a '.h' file for download.
Following the compile instructions in the README file, I notice the command-line calls for something from '/usr/src/linux/include', which does not exist on my system. I have downloaded and decompressed the 2.2.19 kernel source beneath '/usr/src'. Is it acceptable to replace the 'linux' directory with the 'kernel-source-2.2.19' directory in the gcc command-line? The README compile instructions also call for the use of '/usr/include/linux/modversions.h' in the command-line options, and although that path does exist on my system; there is no such file as modversions.h on my system. --- I am familiar with getting around on the command-line, vi, and dselect, but I have never successfully compiled anything on a linux system. Any help in getting my network driver compiled and working would be greatly appreciated. I have all 3 CDs from the 'woody' release. - Carl Fenley -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
