3.3 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"
2. Set by doing configurations in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
/ifcfg-ethX for Redhat and Fedora, or /etc/sysconfig/network
/ifcfg-ethX for SuSE.
There are two examples to set network configurations.
a. Fixed IP address:
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=ethernet
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
IPADDR=192.168.1.1
- 15 -
Page 16
User Manual of ENW-9702
GATEWAY=192.168.1.254
BROADCAST=192.168.1.255
b. DHCP:
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes
<Modify the MAC address>
There are two ways to modify the MAC address of the NIC.
1. Use ifconfig:
# ifconfig ethX hw ether YY:YY:YY:YY:YY:YY
,where X is the device number assigned by Linux kernel, and
YY:YY:YY:YY:YY:YY is the MAC address assigned by the user.
2. Use ip:
# ip link set ethX address YY:YY:YY:YY:YY:YY
,where X is the device number assigned by Linux kernel, and
YY:YY:YY:YY:YY:YY is the MAC address assigned by the user.
<Force Link Status>
1. Force the link status when insert the driver.
If the user is in the path ~/r8168, the link status can be forced
