Installing the LINUX TG3 File

Installing the

Source RPM

Package

There are two procedures to install the Linux TG3 file:

"Installing the Source RPM Package" on page 11



"Building the Driver from the Source TAR File" on page 12



Here are general guidelines for installing the driver:

1. Install the source RPM package by enter the following command:

rpm -ivh tg3<version>.src.rpm

2. Change directory to the RPM path and build the binary driver for your

kernel. Enter one of the following commands:

cd /usr/src/{redhat, OpenLinux, turbo, packages,

rpm..}

rpmbuild -bb SPECS/tg3.spec (for RPM version 4.x.x)

Note

The RPM path is different for specific Linux distributions.

3. By default, the driver is compiled for the running kernel. To build the

driver for a kernel different from the running kernel, specify the kernel

by defining it in KVER. If this is not necessary, skip to step 4. Enter the

following command:

rpmbuild -bb SPECS/tg3.spec --define "KVER <kernel_

version>

where <kernel_version> in the form of 2.x.y-z is the version number of

another kernel that is installed on the system.

4. To install the newly-built package (driver and man page), enter the

following command:

rpm -ivh RPMS/<arch>/tg3-<version>.<arch>.rpm

where <arch> is the architecture of the machine such as i386. For

example:

rpm -ivh RPMS/i386/tg3-<version>.i386.rpm
