Thanks for your help. Unfortunately, initializing the modprobe command results in
"via-velocity: disagrees about version of symbol struct_module FATAL: Error inserting via_velocity (/lib/modules/2.6.16.12/kernel/drivers/net/via-velocity.ko): Invalid module format" One of the problems, is that the Astlinux image does not have make, so I am making the via-velocity on the development machine (Ubuntu 8.04 image), then transporting the files across. I have only moved across via-velocity.ko, perhaps there are other files that I should move across. I have tried "wget"ting Make to "make" via-velocity on the board, but it then came up with "incorrect tarball" when I tried to unzip it (sorry don't actually remember the error!). The tgz file unzipped on the development machine perfectly however. Anyways, I'm now going to try using Chris's method to build an image with ubuntu.

I hope I do not gave wrong hints :) Ioan. > Clara Chan wrote: >> Hi, all >> >> >> >> I am new to Astlinux and trying to install the second Ethernet port on >> my EPIA SN 18000G board. >> >> >> >> Just installing the Via image on this motherboard and realise that eth1 >> (via-velocity) Gigabit Ethernet was not being recognised. >> >> >> >> Trying to install the driver for this with Astlinux (with the linux >> version of the driver) and unable to use the makefile, as /usr/src is >> not inherent in the file system. >> >> >> >> Any suggestions will be welcome. > > Clara, > > After we branch trunk to create a 0.6 branch and release, we will be > doing a kernel upgrade in trunk.
