3.4 Installing Driver to Linux
Requirements:
- Kernel source tree (supported Linux kernel 2.6.x and 2.4.x)
- For linux kernel 2.4.x, this driver supports 2.4.20 and latter.
- Compiler / binutils for kernel compilation
Quick install with proper kernel settings:
Unpack the tarball :
# tar vjxf r8168-8.aaa.bb.tar.bz2
Change to the directory:
# cd r8168-8.aaa.bb
If you are running the target kernel, then you should be able to do:
# ./autorun.sh (as root or with sudo)
You can check whether the driver is loaded by using following commands.
# lsmod | grep r8168
# ifconfig -a
If there is a device name, ethX, shown on the monitor, the linux driver is loaded. Then,
you can use the following command to activate the ethX.
# ifconfig ethX up
,where X=0,1,2,...
Set the network related information:
1. Set manually
a. Set the IP address of your machine.
# ifconfig ethX "the IP address of your machine"
b. Set the IP address of DNS.
Insert the following configuration in
/etc/resolv.conf.nameserver "the IP address of DNS"
c. Set the IP address of gateway.
# route add default gw "the IP address of gateway"
