To install the source RPM package:
1. Install the source RPM package:
rpm -ivh bcm5700-.src.rpm
2. Change the directory to the RPM path and build the binary driver for
your kernel:
cd /usr/src/{redhat,OpenLinux,turbo,packages,rpm ..}
rpm -bb SPECS/bcm5700.spec or rpmbuild -bb SPECS/
bcm5700.spec
The RPM path is different for different Linux distributions.
3. Install the newly built package (driver and man page):
rpm -ivh RPMS/i386/bcm5700-.i386.rpm
For 2.2.x kernels, the driver is installed in:
/lib/modules//net/bcm5700.o
For 2.4.x kernels, the driver is installed in:
/lib/modules//kernel/drivers/net/
bcm5700.o
For 2.4.x kernels with bcm5700 driver patched in, the driver is
installed in:
/lib/modules//kernel/drivers/net/bcm/
bcm5700.o
or
/lib/modules//kernel/drivers/addon/
bcm5700/bcm5700.o
4. Load the driver:
insmod bcm5700
5. Refer to Linux distribution documentation to configure the network
protocol and address.
You need the force option when installing the driver on some
distributions that has an older version of the driver.
