I have Knoppix 3.6 that did not recoqnize D-Link DGE-530T Gigabit Ethernet Adapter, so I remastered the CD, and in the process added the driver as per instructions from D-Link web site:
3 INSTALLATION
================
Install linux driver as following command:
0. tar xvzf sk98lin.tgz, then goto sk98lin dir.
1. make all
2. insmod sk98lin.o
3. ifconfig eth0 up 10.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.0.0.0
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^\ ^^^^^^^^\
IP NETMASK
Now eth0 should active, you can test it by "ping" or get more information by
"ifconfig". If tested ok, continue the next step.
The "ls /proc/net/sk98lin" command will show you the interface name to be
eth0, eth1 etc.
4. cp sk98lin.o /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net
5. Add the following lines to /etc/modules.conf:
alias eth0 sk98lin
6. Run "netconfig" or "netconf" to create configuration script ifcfg-eth0
located at /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts or create it manually.
7. Driver will automatically load and configure at next boot time.
***
Now, there is a race condition somewhere and sometimes the driver loads up and sometimes it does not.
At every boot, I see this:
INIT: version 2.78-knoppix booting
modprobe: Note: /etc/modules.conf is more recent than /lib/modules/2.4.27/modules.dep
insmod: Note: /etc/modules.conf is more recent than /lib/modules/2.4.27/modules/dep
And again I get the same message after a few lines at the Autoconfiguring devices... line
At the end again those lines are repeated.
But the driver sometimes loads up perfectly fine, I am able to shared a drive from my windows pc using samba on the knoppix machine and sometimes i dont even see the ethernet adapter show up when I hit:
ifconfig -a
Please help.
Thanks,
Raj
