7.2.2 Red Hat ® Enterprise ver. 3.0
Follow these instructions when installing the Broadcom ® Gigabit LAN controller
base driver for the Red Hat ® Enterprise ver. 3.0 operating system.
Installing source RPM package
1. Install the source RPM package:
rpm -ivh tg3-<version>.src.rpm
2. CD to 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)
The RPM path is different for different Linux distributions.
3. Install the newly built packages (driver and main page):
rpm -ivh RPMS/<arch>tg3-<version>.<arch>.rpm
• <arch> is the architecture of the machine, e.g. i386:
rpm -ivh RPMS/<arch>tg3-<version>.<arch>.rpm
• Force option may be needed on some Linux distributions if conflicts are
reported.
The driver will be install in the following path:
/lib/modules/<kernel_version>/<kernel/drivers/net/tg3.o
(on 2.4.x kernels)
/lib/modules/<kernel_version>/<kernel/drivers/net/tg3.o
(on 2.6.x kernels)
4. Load the driver:
insmod tg3.o
insmod tg3.ko (on 2.6.x kernels)
modprobe tg3
5. To configure network protocol and address, refer to various Linux
documentations.
Building the driver from the TAR file
Install first the source RPM package before building the driver from the TAR file.
To build the driver from the TAR file:
1. Create a directory and extract the TAR files:
tar xvzf tg3-<version>.tar.gz
