BroadBand Connection

BroadBand Connection

[Peter H.]

Greetings,

Slackware 10 kernel 2.4.26

At last I will get tomorrow a broadband connection. The company which puts it 
up informed me yesterday to buy a LAN card.

Which I did today: CNet PRO200 100/10Mbps Fast Ethernet PCI-Bus Adapter.

On the enclosed floppy in the package is a driver for Linux cnpro2~1.gz

Where do I copy that driver to on my HD and what in the kernel will I have to 
do to make things work for a broadband connection using make xconfig.

This is a very new system here working over micro waves and I assume the 
people installing it might not know Linux.

I am quite excited getting away from my slow modem connection with average 
speeds of 1.5 KB/sec also via micro waves so I hope I can make things work 
with the help from this great list.

Thanks & regards

I'd copy it to /usr/local/src/
there upack it and cd into the new directory. Then compile it. But
isnt't there a README nearby the cnpro2~1.gz file?

There's a driver with the kernel, I guess:

it's in the directory of your kernel source in (at least for the
kernel 2.6.8.)
/Documentation/networking/dmfe.txt
./drivers/net/tulip/dmfe.c

Just do a
$ find ./ -iname dmfe*
in your kernel source directory to find out for your kernel.

Thanks Ulrich,

In slackware10 netconfig took care of everything, found the driver
installed 
it etc and I have now a connection at a dizzying speed of close to 300
KB/sec 
200 times faster than what I had for the past many years.

It would be helpfull to others if you told us which driver is used by this 
card considering that was your origanal question.
That way you help others as well.

Now that you ask I have to admit that netconfig did not find the LAN card I
had bought instead it found the built-in card on the mobo which is via-rhine.
Only when Installed the LAN Card did I notice that there is an outlet on the
mobo which I then used.
