I've been able to update to the latest forcedeth 0.60 in the following way I'm going to describe.
Before all: -I'm using kernel 2.6.15-27-amd64-k8, so change version numbers accordingly to yours; 1)Download latest nvidia nforce package 2)For Dapper, I suggest you using forcedeth.c file contained under Fedora5 folder of the downloaded package 3)Install build-essential plus linux-headers-2.6.15-27-amd64-k8 4)Copy forcedeth.c into some folder, e.g. /home/willytp/forcedeth 5)Into this folder, make a file called "Makefile" containing the following line: obj-m := forcedeth.o 6)Into this folder, execute the following command: make -C /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.15-27-amd64-k8/ SUBDIRS=$PWD modules 7)Copy the just created forcedeth.ko module into /lib/modules/2.6.15-27-amd64-k8/kernel/drivers/net/ overwriting the old one 8)Execute this command: sudo depmod -a 9)Make a new initrd image: go into /boot/ folder, locate your initrd image, save it name, delete the file, and execute the following command: mkinitramfs -o initrd.img-2.6.15-27-amd64-k8 10)Cross fingers and reboot ;) Hoping to help someone, I've attached a file here, containing the appropriate forcedeth.c, the Makefile, a little script to build and the binary file which will work *only* for 2.6.15-27-amd64-k8 kernel. ** Attachment added: "forcedeth.c makefile, build script and binary module." http://librarian.launchpad.net/5620323/forcedeth_0.60.tar.bz -- Update to Forcedeth 0.56 required https://launchpad.net/bugs/76346 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
