1. General notes
================
This document describes Silicom PC Card drivers installation under a Red Hat
distribution of Linux operating system. Other distributions may have
different system path names. If you are running a non-RH distribution, review
the chapter 2.5. of the PCMCIA-HOWTO document.
You must login as root in order to install the PCMCIA package and Silicom
drivers. You must also have gcc package and Perl interpreter installed in
order to compile and install the packages.
2. Installing the PCMCIA package
================================
You have to install the pcmcia-cs package version 3.0.6 or later in order
to work with Silicom drivers. We did not test neither intend to support older
pcmcia-cs releases. Download the pcmcia-cs package v3.0.9 from our site or
from
ftp://hyper.stanford.edu/pub/pcmcia and install it as described in
the PCMCIA-HOWTO document. Generally the installation steps look as follows:
cd /usr/src
tar --gunzip -xvf pcmcia-cs-3.0.9.tar.gz
cd pcmcia-cs-3.0.9
make config
make clean
make all
make install
If cardmgr is running, issue 'killall cardmgr' command. Now you are ready to
install the Silicom drivers package.
3. Installing the Silicom drivers
=================================
3.1. Copy the Silicom drivers archive into pcmcia-cs-3.0.6 directory and untar
the archive:
cd /usr/src/pcmcia-cs-3.0.9
tar --gunzip -xvf silicom-1.02b.tar.gz
cd silicom
3.2. Execute:
make all
make install
3.3. For a network card, set up the correct values in
the /etc/pcmcia/network.opts file. Values for IPADDR, NETMASK, NETWORK,
BROADCAST, GATEWAY, DOMAIN must be set.
3.4. Start the cardmgr: /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start
3.5. Insert a card into a slot.
