Linux
The Linux driver for the SysKonnect SK-9E21D 10/100/1000Base-T Adapter, PCI Express,
supports the Linux kernel 2.4.13 and higher stable versions. The installation procedure for the
various Linux distributions differs. The driver will be integrated into the kernel, i.e. using the
standard installation procedure of your distribution to install Ethernet adapters should cause
no problems. For details on the installation of Ethernet adapters, refer to the distribution’s
manual. The installation procedure described in this manual is a general description for Intel/
x86 computers, which is valid for all distributions.
It is recommended to download the latest version of the driver from the SysKonnect web site
. If you have downloaded the latest driver, the Linux kernel has to
be patched before the driver can be installed.
Patch the Linux kernel
To patch the Linux kernel, proceed as follows:
1.
Login as “root”.
2.
Download the original Linux source code named
linux-a.b.c.tar.gz
or
linux-
a.b.c.tar.bz2
(e.g.
linux-2.4.13.tar.bz2
) into the directory
/usr/src
.
You can download the source code from the FTP site
ftp://ftp.kernel.org
or from one of its
mirror sites.
The linux kernel version has to match the version of the patch file.
3.
Unpack the original Linux source code with one of the following commands:
tar xvzf linux-a.b.c.tar.gz
or
tar xfvj linux-a.b.c.tar.bz2
