In the past I've used the 3c59x driver for 3c905b and 3c905c, without any noticeable problems. If you want to compile the driver from 3com's site you can do this without rebuilding the kernel. The driver you downloaded is a module, so it can be compiled by itself and then loaded into the kernel through insmod.
You should have received a Makefile with the files you download, I would advice you to use that to build/install the module. -----Original Message----- From: scott.list [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, July 30, 2002 11:47 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: How to build kernel with 3c90x support Hello: I normally build my kernels from source. I am building a 2.2.17 kernel on a 6.2 box. How do I get the 3Com driver "3c90x" to compile in with the new kernel? The 3c90x.c and 3c90x.h files were not originally included in the source distribution and I have them from 3Com's website. I have placed them in /usr/src/linux/drivers/net with all the other driver files. I only have the options of <*> 3c590/3c900 series (592/595/597) "Vortex/Boomerang" support in the "make menuconfig" menu. I assume this menu option doesn't point to the 3c90x.c/h files. How do I get this driver to compile into my kernel? My normal kernel build process is: get source untar make mrproper make menuconfig make dep make clean make bzImage make modules make modules_install cp System.map /boot/System.map-[ver] cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage-[ver] edit and rerun lilo -- redhat-list mailing list Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
