Andy,
Thanks for that. I did manage to find those for Firefox. I still can't
find those for Konqueror :-(
While I have your attention, I am struggling to get my Belkin Wi-fi card
working with my SuSE 10.1 installation.
I have a belkin F5D7001uk wireless 125G high speed card with a Broadcom
chipset (BCM4318). I have found a Linux driver for it on their website.
I have read the following instructions but fail at Item 2 because I
don't know where the 'RPM Path' is. I don't know where to CD to.
Can you assist? See below text.
Installing Source RPM Package
=============================
The following are general guidelines for installing the driver.
1. Install the source RPM package:
rpm -ivh tg3-<version>.src.rpm
2. CD to the RPM path and build the binary driver for your kernel:
cd /usr/src/{redhat,OpenLinux,turbo,packages,rpm ..}
rpm -bb SPECS/tg3.spec
or
rpmbuild -bb SPECS/tg3.spec (for RPM version 4.x.x)
Note that the RPM path is different for different Linux distributions.
3. Install the newly built package (driver and man page):
rpm -ivh RPMS/<arch>/tg3-<version>.<arch>.rpm
<arch> is the architecture of the machine, e.g. i386:
rpm -ivh RPMS/i386/tg3-<version>.i386.rpm
Note that the --force option may be needed on some Linux distributions
if conflicts are reported.
The driver will be installed in the following path:
2.4.x kernels:
/lib/modules/<kernel_version>/kernel/drivers/net/tg3.o
2.6.x kernels:
/lib/modules/<kernel_version>/kernel/drivers/net/tg3.ko
4. Load the driver:
insmod tg3.o
or
insmod tg3.ko (on 2.6.x kernels)
or
modprobe tg3
Eron,
I would imagine that the Konqueror plug-in directory would follow the
same as Firefox.
As for your Belkin issue, the location it is talking about under SUSE is:
/usr/src/packages/RPMS/(architecture)
Depending on what the"version" is then that will dictate which
subdirectory to use.
Let me know if you still have issues.
Regards,
Andy
