Installing Linux Driver Software

Installing Source RPM Package

1.Install the source RPM package:

rpm -ivh bcm5700-<version>.src.rpm

2.Change the directory to the RPM path and build the binary driver for your kernel:

cd /usr/src/{redhat,OpenLinux,turbo,packages,rpm ..}

rpm -bb SPECS/bcm5700.spec or rpmbuild -bb SPECS/ bcm5700.spec

Note that the RPM path is different for different Linux distributions.

3.Install the newly built package (driver and man page):

rpm -ivh RPMS/i386/bcm5700-<version>.i386.rpm

Note that the force option is needed if installing on some distributions that may already contain an older version of the driver.
