[rhn-users] Syskonnect FDDI card help

[Brad Sharpe]

I'm running RHEL 4 update 2 on a wx4300 HP workstation (EM64T processor). 
I've installed RHEL 4 x86_64 WS. I have now put in a SysKonnect FDDI card 
and tried to configure it, but am having problems. Here are the steps I did:

made the skfp.ko module by
1. rpm -Uvh kernel-2.6.9-22.EL.src.rpm
2. cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
3. rpmbuild -bp --target=x86_64 kernel-2.6.spec
4. cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.9/linux-2.6.9/
5. cp configs/kernel-2.6.9-x86_64-smp.config .config
6. make menuconfig (selected Device Drivers/networking support/FDDI driver 
support and made sure SysKonnect FDDI PCI support was set as M)
6. make modules
7. cp drivers/net/skfp/skfp.ko to 
/lib/modules/2.6.9-22.0.1.ELsmp/kernel/drivers/net/
8. depmod -a

After a reboot I was prompted by kudzu to configure the device fddi0. I 
configured with our network settings and continued. It then gave an error 
like "skfp device fddi0 does not seem to be installed" and will not connect 
the FDDI device. Can you please help.

Here's the lspci output for the card:

Any help would be apprecriated.

Thanks!
