1. Log into the Unix system as supervisor (root) and enter
Maintenance mode. Make sure that the current directory is “/”
using Unix command “pwd.”
2. Use the following steps to uncompress the package file:
# cd /tmp (and insert the floppy in the proper
drive, i.e. a:)
# mcopy a:/linux/smc9462.o ./smc9462
# cd smc9462
Now the installation directory is ready for use.
3. Copy the smc9462.o file to the network modules directory,
typically /lib/modules/2.0.x/net.
# cp ./smc9462.o /lib/modules/2.0-x/net
4. Locate the boot module configuration file, most commonly
“conf.modules” in the “/etc” directory. Add the following line:
alias ethx smc9462
where “ethx” will be “eth0” if you don’t have any other
adapters, “eth1” if you already have one, and so on. The
parameters are the ones discussed in the previous paragraph.
5. Find where the network configuration scripts are, normally the
“/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts” directory, and create a
configuration script (sample discussed above) named
“ifcfg-ethx” that contains network information.
# cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
# vi ifcfg-ethx (make a configuration script
file)
6. Reboot the Unix system to initialize the driver function.
# reboot
