Linux Installation Instructions
2.Install the RPMs. The following is an example for SLES9:
[root@myhost1 i586]# rpm
3.Run "yast" to configure the SMC Server Adapter. You will see two new Ethernet Controllers available for configuration, only one of which needs to be configured for correct operation. When you select an Ethernet Controller to configure, the "Configuration Name" will take one of the following forms:
a.
b.eth-id-00:0F:53:XX:XX:XX
The correct Ethernet Controller to configure is usually the first controller in the pair, and the "Configuration Name" either takes the first form ending in ".0", or the second form. If the "Configuration Name" ends in ".1" then you have selected the incorrect Ethernet Controller and you should select the other one in the pair.
Once configured, the "Configuration Name" for the correct Ethernet Controller will change to the second form, and an ethY interface will appear on the host. If the incorrect Ethernet Controller is chosen and configured, then the "Configuration Name" will remain as
Building the Source RPM
The source RPM is also available on the support site:
The source RPM can be used to build a binary RPM for that can be installed as detailed in the section “Installation From a Binary RPM” on page
1.Before building the source RPM, the kernel headers for your running kernel must be installed
2.To build a binary RPM for the running kernel type
rpmbuild
Note: Unfortunately, the location of the generated rpm is dependent on the distribution you are using, and often the version of the distribution and the rpm build tools. The following steps may be useful to locate the newly built rpm:
