Enabling LINUX

Building the

Driver from the

Source TAR File

Note

The force option may be needed on some Linux distributions if

conflicts are reported.

Depending on the kernel, the driver is installed in one of the following

directories:

2.4.x kernels:

/lib/modules/<kernel_version>/kernel/drivers/net/

tg3.o

2.6.x kernels:

/lib/modules/<kernel_version>/kernel/drivers/net/

tg3.ko

5. To load the driver, enter one of the following commands:

insmod tg3.o

insmod tg3.ko (on 2.6 kernels)

modprobe tg3

To configure the network protocol and address, refer to the Linux version-

specific documentation.

To build the LINUX driver from the source TAR file, use the following

procedure:

1. Create a directory, called tg3 - version, and extract the TAR files to the

directory. Enter the following command:

tar xvzf tg3-version.tar.gz

2. Build the driver tg3.o or tg3.ko as a loadable module for the running

kernel. Enter the following commands:

cd src

make

3. The driver is compiled for the running kernel by default. To build the

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

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