needs to be created before the kernel or any driver module can be compiled. There are lots of books and documents available describing how to extract, configure and build the kernel from it's sources.

The driver is compiled and tested for:

•RedHat 7.1 : kernels 2.4.2-2 using gcc 2.96

•RedHat 8.0 : kernel 2.4.18-14 using gcc 3.2

•RedHat 9.0 : kernel 2.4.20-8 using gcc 3.2

For Linux installation instructions, please refer to the text file provided with your Linux driver’s package.
