Windows XP and Windows Server 2003

SysKonnect offers an NDIS 5.1 32-bit Miniport driver for the SysKonnect SK-9Exx/9Sxx Gigabit

the boot operation.

Linux

The Linux driver for the SysKonnect SK-9Exx/9Sxx Gigabit Ethernet Server Adapter Family sup-
ports the Linux kernel 2.4.13 and higher stable versions. The installation procedure described in this
manual is a general description for Intel/x86 computers, which is valid for all distributions.

The installation package offers the following three installation procedures:

User installation

Expert installation

Patch generation

The option U

SER

 I

NSTALLATION

 is recommended for normal users. Using this mode, the driver is in-

stalled automatically without any user interaction. In case of installation problems, the driver installa-
tion script autonomously tries to solve the problems. Selecting this installation procedure, the driver
is compiled automatically and the resulting driver module object file is installed in a suitable location
(usually in the directory /lib/modules/...). No source files of the driver are installed into the kernel di-
rectory. Only the driver module object file and the manual page (

man page

) of the driver are installed

on your system permanently.
