SMC Networks TigerCard 1000 manual Reboot the Unix system to initialize the driver function

INSTALLING NETWORK DRIVERS

1.Log into the Unix system as supervisor (root) and enter Maintenance mode. Make sure that the current directory is “/” using Unix command “pwd.”

2.Use the following steps to uncompress the package file:

# cd /tmp	(and insert the floppy in the proper
	drive, i.e. a:)

#mcopy a:/linux/smc9462.o ./smc9462

#cd smc9462

Now the installation directory is ready for use.

3.Copy the smc9462.o file to the network modules directory, typically /lib/modules/2.0.x/net.

#cp ./smc9462.o /lib/modules/2.0-x/net

4.Locate the boot module configuration file, most commonly “conf.modules” in the “/etc” directory. Add the following line:

alias ethx smc9462

where “ethx” will be “eth0” if you don’t have any other adapters, “eth1” if you already have one, and so on. The parameters are the ones discussed in the previous paragraph.

5.Find where the network configuration scripts are, normally the “/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts” directory, and create a configuration script (sample discussed above) named “ifcfg-ethx” that contains network information.

#cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts

#vi ifcfg-ethx (make a configuration script file)

6.Reboot the Unix system to initialize the driver function.

#reboot
