Re: DLINK NIC modules via-rhine.c
I too have a D-Link DFE530tx and I'm using the scyld driver. I'm no kernel
compile Guru, what errors did you get ?
>From memory I think I had to add a "-I/usr/src/linux/include" to the compile
command. /usr/src/linux is where the kernel sources are on my machine.
The deb package I've used for the source is kernel-source-2.2.17 and then
unpacked the kernel-source-2.2.17.tar.bz2 file.
Dont forget to get and compile the pci-scan package from scyld also.
Hope this is of some help.
