RE: network card driver install problem (broadcom)

[Rajesh <rajeshb frontline com au>]

Hi,

 

I just installed the Redhat version 9 from the CD’s. After that I didn’t install any packages or kernel source code.

 

Thanks,

Rajesh.

Hi all,

 

I have installed Red Hat Linux 9 on my Laptop (Compaq nx5000). It has not recognized my network card

which is Broadcom 440x. I have downloaded the driver from www.broadcom.com and have gone through

the README file for instructions.

 

1. Installed the source RPM package using

 rpm –ivf bcm4400-3.0.8-1.src.rpm

 

2. cd /usr/src/redhat
3. rpmbuild –bb SPECS/bcm4400.spec

 

I am stuck here, when I type this command it complains about gcc not found. So, I have installed gcc-3.2.2-5.

After I installed the gcc I am getting lots of compiling errors when I run

 

rpmbuild –bb SPECS/bcm4400.spec

 

Linux gurus please help me to get this working.

 

Thanks,

Rajesh.

 

I assume you have installed the Kernel Source code?
