Installing the Source RPM Package
Prerequisites:
• Linux kernel source
• C compiler
Procedure:
1.
Install the source RPM package.
rpm -ivh tg3-
version
.src.rpm
2.
Change the directory to the RPM path and build the binary driver for your kernel (the RPM path is different
for different Linux distributions).
cd /usr/src/redhat,OpenLinux,turbo,packages,rpm …
rpm -bb SPECS/tg3.spec or rpmbuild -bb SPECS/tg3.spec
rpmbuild -bb SPECS/tg3.spec (for RPM version 4.x.x)
error: cannot create %sourcedir /usr/src/redhat/SOURCE
The most likely cause of the error is that the rpm-build package has not been installed. Locate the rpm-build
package on the Linux installation media and install it using the following command:
rpm -ivh rpm-build-version.i386.rpm
Complete the installation of the source RPM.
3.
Install the newly-built package (driver and man page).
rpm -ivh RPMS/x86_64/tg3-
version
.i386.rpm
Depending on the kernel, the driver is installed to the following path:
2.6.x kernels
:
/lib/modules/
kernel_version
/kernel/drivers/net/tg3.ko
4.
Load the driver.
modprobe tg3
To configure the network protocol and address, refer to the Linux version-specific documentation.
Note:
During your attempt to install a source RPM package, the following message may be displayed:
