Action:
Add a Ethernet driver (for example, xyz.o ) to your LRP boot disk
(some driver depends on others, for example, ne2k-pci.o depends on
8390.o and pci-scan.o)
(all current Scyld PCI driver depends on pci-scan.o)
(1) Boot up LRP, login as root, q to drop to command prompt.
(2) Download and save the appropriate xyz.o to a clean floppy disk.
(3) Remove the boot LRP floppy, insert the floppy disk with the xyz.o in drive A
(4) mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt
cd /lib/modules
cp /mnt/xyz.o /lib/modules
chmod 755 *
sync
umount /mnt
remove the floppy with xyz.o, re-insert the LRP boot floppy
ls /lib/modules (confirm that xyz.o is in the directory, make sure
the name is in lowercase,
if not, change the file name to lowercase with this command:
mv XYZ.O xyz.o )
lrcfg (call up
the config menu)
3 for Package settings
choose modules
choose 1 for modules again
add a line xyz (some drivers
need pci-scan and/or 8390
before them, called dependency)
(if that is the case, you also need to copy
pci-scan.o and
8390.o to /lib/modules
)
for ISA card driver, you also have to specify the IO ports after the driver
name, for example,
ne io=0x300,0x320
Ctrl-S and Enter
to save the configuration file
Ctrl-C and q
twice
B to Backup
choose modules
reboot
