MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Nabble-Sender: lists@nabble.com X-Nabble-From: heavenscape Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hi all, I have a legacy PCI fiber card running under Red Hat Linux 7.3, and I have all the source code of its driver developped by others. Please see the attachment. http://www.nabble.com/user-files/135/cyport71.tar cyport71.tar It is working fine right now. But I am going to upgrade my OS to Rea Hat Enterprise Linux AS 4, I am not sure how can I recompile and install this fiber card in the new OS. I am new to Linux and have minimal experience in programming Linux. But this card is very important to me. Any suggestion is highly appreciated!! Thanks!!
