$ mkdir util $ cd util

$ cp /mnt/cdrom/linux-dpm-driver/util/util*.tar.gz . $ gunzip util*.tar.gz

$ tar vxf util*.tar

To create a new utility programs:

$ make clean $ make

Note(1): If you are installing the adapter cards in an SMP machine, you should comment out the standard CFLAGS line in the “Makefile” and uncomment the SMP version of CFLAGS before compiling the driver (safe to leave SMP enabled on newer versions of Linux (2.4.18 – 2.4.26, 2.6).

Note(2): Before compiling, please also edit the Makefile and set “INCLUDEDIR” to the path of your Linux kernel source tree. For example:

INCLUDEDIR = /usr/src/linux-2.4.25/include

Installing the driver

To install the driver object module in the file system, become root and run:

#make install

#depmod –a

#insmod dpm.o

Note(1): For loading driver with Intel 82546 based cards, use ‘ChipSelector=1’ or leave blank (default)

Note(2): For loading driver with National DP83820 based cards, use ‘ChipSelector=0’

Note(3): ‘modprobe’ may be used in place of ‘insmod’ to resolve module dependencies.

Configure the card using your preferred configuration tool, or edit the initialization script for the interface directly. On Red Hat, the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 might look something like this (substituting ethernet device number, example: eth0, eth1, etc):

DEVICE='eth1'

BOOTPROTO='none'

ONBOOT='yes'

IPADDR=192.168.0.3

GATEWAY=192.168.0.1
