I'm trying to set up my CTX laptop for connection to a netgear fast ethernet switch I've got at home - DSL modem is also connected to this switch. I have (2) Windows PC's connected and working fine.
I have a D-Link DFE-690TXD Cardbus PCMCIA ethernet card for it - I downloaded the linux driver from http://support.dlink.com/faq/view.asp?prod_id=1226&question=DFE-690TXD - Now I'm attempting to follow the instructions.
STEP 1: I copied the source code (dfe690.c) to /dfe690 (I'm logged in as Root on Red Hat 7.0, using kernel 2.2.16-22, that's the kernel that installed with my Red Hat distribution - I have made no changes to it at all.....
Now I try to compile the driver by executing:
kgcc -DCARDBUS -DMODULE -D_KERNEL -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c dfe690.c dfe690_cb.o -I/usr/src/linux/pcmcia-cs-2.2.16/include/pcmcia
Notes: 1. I read another bulletin that the "gcc" compiler that ships with RH7.0 is crap, so I installed the RPM for "kgcc" instead.
2. I changed the "pmcia-cs-X.X.XX" directory to match mine
3. I didn't have a /src/linux directory on my machine, so again, I read another bulletin and installed the RPM for the kernel headers package - that took care of several error messages.....
I'm still getting these error messages:
kgcc: dfe690_cb.o: No such file or directory
dfe690.c: 1513: driver_ops.h: No such file or directory
Please help me figure this out.
Thanks All !
