Safeway 10/100 Mbit Lancard



Hey;

I recently installed RedHat 8.0 onto my system (dual boot with Microsof W2K) and wanted to get my network up and going.

First problem i noticed was that even after a full install of linux RH the OS didn't seem to find and install my network lancard. A Safeway 10/100 Mbit LAN card.

No problem I thought, the drivers where available on the 3.5''! diskette that I had received with the lancard.
AFter reading the readme file and trid to install the drivers with the commands that where in the driver readme but here again installation failed.
___________________________________________________________________
Installation:
1. copy the source code fealnx.c to Linux,
2. compile the source code, the instruction for compiling the driver is
as follows:
#gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c fealnx.c
3. insert the driver as module,
#insmod fealnx.o
4. bind your card to an IP address
#ifconfig eth0 ${IPADDR} broadcast ${BROADCAST} netmask ${NETMASK}
5. add your card to IP routing table,
#route add -net ${NETWORK} netmask ${NETMADK} eth0
6. now, you should be able to ping local network.

As i didn't even pass the 1 first command i started to worry.
insmod / modprobe / .. all of these commands don't seem te be recognised bt the commandprompt, so i turn to u guys,


Can anyone help me ?

Greet /me
