I'm trying to install drivers for my smc1211tx ethernet card so I can get my
cable connection configured correctly.  I'm running 8.0.  I have a couple of
questions about the directions that came with the cd before I try it.
The directions say to verify that you have the source code for your current
kernel version installed.  How do you do that?
Later it says "install the driver module in the proper location for your
distribution.  This is usually  /lib/modules/kernel-version/net/driver"  The
closest thing I have is /lib/modules/2.4.3-20mdk/kernel/net.  I want to be
sure that that is the correct location to install the driver before I do it.
Finally,  it says to run the following command as root to install the
driver:
install -m 644 driver.o /lib/modules/'uname -r'/net/
Am I really supposed to type 'uname -r', or does this stand for something
else?
Should I substitute this directory with the
"/lib/modules/2.4.3-20mdk/kernel/net" one?

Sorry for all the dumb questions,
SW
