1. Compiling rtl8169.c
“gcc -DMODULE -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c rtl8169.c”
2. Move the object code rtl8169.o to the directory
“/lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0/net”
“cp rtl8169.o /lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0/net”
3. Insert module to kernel
“insmod rtl8169”
4. Check the driver status
“dmesg”
5. The media can be forced to one of five modes (see below).
The link speed and duplex mode can be forced in five modes.
Command: “insmod rtl8169 media = SET_MEDIA”
Example: “insmod rtl8169 media=0x04” will force the link mode to be
100 Mpbs half duplex.
SET_MEDIA can be:
_10_Half = 0x01
_10_Full = 0x02
_100_Half = 0x04
_100_Full = 0x08
_1000_Full = 0x10

1. 1. Compiling r8169.c using Makefile
“make”
NOTE: Remember to assign “NEW_INCLUDE_PATH” in Makefile
according to Linux kernel.
2. Move r8169.o to the directory
“/lib/modules/<kernel>/kernel/drivers/net”
“cp r8169.o /lib/modules/<kernel>/kernel/drivers/net” where <kernel>
represents the kernel version, say 2.4.18-3 in Red Hat 7.3
3. Insert module by
“insmod r8169”
4. Check driver status
“dmesg”
