Hi Santosh, The problem was in the make file. I had put pcnet32.c instead of .o. The module has now been compiled. Now I got 4 files
pcnet32.ko - I placed in /lib/modules/2.6.25.14/kernel/drivers/net What should I do with the rest. What are these for? I found similar file types in the /usr/src/linux-2.6.25.14/(different folders) pcnet32.mod.c pcnet32.mod.o pcnet32.o Regards Ashish On Fri, Dec 12, 2008 at 12:39 PM, Santosh <[email protected]> wrote: > Ashish Verma wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> I dont know why this is not working for me.
