Driver Installation Under SuSE Linux

6 Copy the config file for the kernel you want to build module for
from the appropriate /usr/src/linux/arch directory (listed below)
to /usr/src/linux/.config.
7 Make oldconfig
8 Untar the driver source with this command:
tar zxfv 3w-9xxx.tgz
The driver source will be output to a directory called “driver”.
9 Change directory to driver.
cd driver
10 To build the module, type
make
The 3w-9xxx.ko module will be built and output to the driver
directory created when you untared the 3w-9xxx.tgz file.
This will take a while, since the 2.6 build process exports our
module to the kernel module list and then builds all kernel
modules.
11 Copy the module 3w-9xxx.ko to
/lib/modules/<kernel string>/kernel/drivers/scsi/
3w-9xxx.ko
