First, could you please turn off html?
And then, you could send me those files and I'll write you
a short kernel patch you can apply if the driver hooks
are kernel 2.2.x conform. I need following files:
Fa311.c
Fa311.h
Makefile (just to see how they compile their module, if
they EXPORT_SYMTAB or if
But you could also post the Makefile and then
I'm sure that everybody with MODULE compiling
experience can help you.
Basically, the following line should be enough:
gcc -DMODULE -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c Fa311.c
if not you can try:
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes
-O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -fno-strength-reduce
-m486 -malign-loops=2 -malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2 -DCPU=686
-DMODULE -c Fa311.c
then you have to copy the resulting Fa311.o into
your appropriate /lib/modules/`uname -r`/net
directory and add a line into /etc/modules.conf
alias eth0 Fa311
do a depmod -a and hope that there are no
unresolved symbols :)
enter ifconfig eth0
have a look at the dmesg output and enjoy!
But I can also write a short kernel patch
for you!
