A. Get source Code and produce a binary code
=============================================
Step 1 : Get the source code from the following site;
FTP://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/linux/drivers/kern-2.3/tulip.c
FTP://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/linux/drivers/kern-2.3/kern_compat.h
Step 2 : Compile the source code by using
"gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet
-Wall -Wstrict -prototypes -O6 -c tulip.c
'[ -f /usr/include/linux/modversions.h ] && echo
-DMODVERSIONS`"
B. Installation guide using Slackware 3.XX
==========================================
Step 1 : Copy tulip.o into the latest kernel's modules:
cp tulip.o /lib/modules/2.0.XX/net/tulip.o
Where the XX is the version number of the latest kernel.
Step 2 : Modify /etc/rc.d/rc.modules:
Unmark the line /sbin/modprobe tulip
Step 3 : Reboot system:
reboot
Step 4 : when system boots, the driver will be load.
Step 5 : run netconfig to setup TCP/IP
(run 'ifconfig' or 'netstat -i' to see if there is a
interface 'eth0')
C. Installation guide using Redhat 5.XX
=======================================
Step 1 : Copy tulip.o into the latest kernel's modules:
cp tulip.o /lib/modules/2.0.XX/net/tulip.o
Where the XX is the version number of the latest kernel.
Step 2 : Update kernel's module dependencies:
/sbin/depmod -a
Step 3 : Check /etc/conf.modules:
alias eth0 tulip
options tulip options=X debug=X
Step 4 : Valid media types selections for options=X are:
0 Auto-select (default to the 10baseT link)
1 10base2
2 AUI
3 100baseTx
4 10baseT-FD
5 100baseTx-FD
6 100baseT4
7 100baseFx
8 100baseFx-FD
9 MII 10baseT
10 MII 10baseT-FD
11 MII (autoselect)
12 10baseT (no autoselect), v0.69 and later only
13 MII 100baseTx
14 MII 100baseTx-FD
15 MII 100baseT4
Step 5 : Valid debug levels for debug=X are:
1 normal output
2 more verbose
3 even more verbose
4 even more verbose
6 insanely verbose
Step 6 : Reboot system:
/sbin/shutdown -r now
Step 7 : when system boots, the driver will be load.
Step 8 : run netconfig to setup TCP/IP
(run 'ifconfig
