Question about driver install

Postby Empathy » 02 Apr 2009, 06:21

Hi all,

I'm a YDL noob, and I'm trying to install the driver for a new PCI NIC I've installed, the Trendnet TEG-PCITXR. http://www.trendnet.com/downloads/list_subcategory.asp?SUBTYPE_ID=1104, but running into some problems My machine's a dual-boot OS X and YDL machine, and the card works under OS X, so the hardware appears to be working.

I've downloaded and extracted the ZIP from the link I posted earlier, navigated to the extracted "LINUX" directory, and ran the command "make all" (I also tried "make" and "make clean modules" as Trendnet's various conflicting readme's have recommended). I'm then bombarded with error messages. First, I see:

Code: Select all
make -C src/ clean
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/Desktop/LINUX/2.4.x_2.6.x/src'
rm -f *.o *.ko *~ core* .dep* .*.d .*.cmd *.mod.c *.a *.s .*.flags
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/Desktop/LINUX/2.4.x_2.6.x/src'
make -C src/ modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/Desktop/LINUX/2.4.x_2.6.x/src'
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.27-1.ydl61.4/build SUBDIRS=/root/Desktop/LINUX/2.4.x_2.6.x/src modules
make[2]: Entering directory `/lib/modules/2.6.27-1.ydl61.4/build'

  WARNING: Symbol version dump /lib/modules/2.6.27-1.ydl61.4/build/Module.symvers
           is missing; modules will have no dependencies and modversions.

  CC [M]  /root/Desktop/LINUX/2.4.x_2.6.x/src/r1000_n.o
make[2]: Leaving directory `/lib/modules/2.6.27-1.ydl61.4/build'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/Desktop/LINUX/2.4.x_2.6.x/src'


Then I see a ton of error messages, for example:
Code: Select all
/root/Desktop/LINUX/2.4.x_2.6.x/src/r1000_n.c:1368: error: ‘struct <anonymous>’ has no member named ‘RxConfigMask’


Finally, the output ends with:
Code: Select all
make[3]: *** [/root/Desktop/LINUX/2.4.x_2.6.x/src/r1000_n.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [_module_/root/Desktop/LINUX/2.4.x_2.6.x/src] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/lib/modules/2.6.27-1.ydl61.4/build'
make[1]: *** [modules] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/Desktop/LINUX/2.4.x_2.6.x/src'
make: *** [modules] Error 2


I'm at a total loss here. Any help would be appreciated!!

Don't take it personally - most people browsing the forums nowadays are PS3 owners.

If I had a Mac myself, I would definitely try to help you with this. As it is, be patient - there are Mac owners around. They just don't read the forum as often as the PS3 owners.

Cheers,
Paul
