Hello all,

I am trying to compile a BCM4401 driver directly from Broadcoms source found here:
http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/4401.php
, as I am having problems with the one in V5..3.1 and terminal servixes
- my note here: http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=29145
The Broadcom readme gives instructions for two installation methods
1- Installing Source RPM Package
2 - Building Driver From TAR File
Following the first instruction set :
Code:
rpm -ivh b44-1.00g-1.src.rpm
works fine, but
Code:
rpmbuild -bb SPECS/b44.spec
(after a cd /usr/src/rpm) fails with:
Code:
Executing(%prep): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.10500
+ umask 022
+ cd /usr/src/rpm/BUILD
+ cd /usr/src/rpm/BUILD
+ rm -rf b44-1.00g
+ /bin/gzip -dc /usr/src/rpm/SOURCES/b44-1.00g.tar.gz
+ tar -xvvf -

RPM build errors:
    Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.10500 (%build)
The second method fails in a similar fashion. Any ideas what Error 2 is and what I can do about it?

I have tried booted from DVD and from HDD install via the DVD of V5.3.1

Will
