hi I'm trying to install a USB LAN I bought from CDR King onto Xubuntu 7.04. Here it is:
http://www.cdrking.com/local/products/index.php?action=mnu&temp=2&typeno=4617684-429030-025874786-9043266&prod=USB%20Devices&prodcode=1101579-724931-190189253-8722910 It said Linux compatibility on the box but the CD only had Win drivers. Anyway when I type lsusb I get this: Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0a46:0286 Davicom Semiconductor, Inc. So I googled it up and found their product page, which lead me to their download page. I couldnt find a product named exactly the same, but these Taiwan Products are frequently rebranded and since the 'DM9601' is their only USB LAN product I assume I'm on the right track. http://www.davicom.com.tw/eng/download/Driver/driver_9601.htm So I downloaded and untarred it onto my /home/user/desktop. The readme file said I should do 'Make', which I did, resulting in the ff. errors: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/dm9601-2.6$ make make -C /lib/modules/2.6.17-10-server/build M=/home/gary/dm9601-2.6LDDINCDIR=/home/gary/dm9601- 2.6/../include modules make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.17-10-server/build: No such file or directory. Stop. make: *** [default] Error 2 At some point I'm assuming a file named 'dm9601.ko' is supposed to show up, which accdg to the readme.txt (ff. the 'for redhat' users instructions, which I wanna try because I seem to have similar folders), I should do the following to: 1. login your system used the superuser. 2. copy dm9601.ko into /lib/modules/2.6.x/kernel/drivers/net/ 3. add the new line with "alias eth0 dm9601" in "/etc/module.conf". 4. execute "netconfig -d eth0". 5. Fill your IP address, netmask and gateway 6. press <ok> to confirm and exit this setting 7 reboot Pls. any help re that Make issue? Thank you! Gabriel
