Title: Setting Up A Usb Nic
Post by: Ling on March 10, 2007, 05:46:31 pm

Meanie was good enought to compile the driver for my DM9601 based USB NIC. I have not set one up before. I imagine that I need to copy the driver to the appropriate location, then I think I need to add an entry to the file that lists all the NIC types to tell it to use my dm9601.0 driver for that type of nic. Help.

Hi,

I think
you can copy dm9601.o into /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/usb

then use
depmod -a
to check wether there is any error exists

finally you can use
insmod dm9601.o
 to insert DM9601 module into kernel


--------

I also have a usb nic using dm9601 chip,
but i could not find the linux driver for it,
can you send me your driver and let me have a try ?
thanks

Thanks, but this module will report a "Float Point" exception

Code: [Select]

# insmod dm9601.o
Floating point exception
