Note(1): If you are installing the adapter cards in an SMP machine, you should 
comment out the standard CFLAGS line in the “Makefile” and uncomment the SMP 
version of CFLAGS before compiling the driver (safe to leave SMP enabled on newer 
versions of Linux (2.4.18 – 2.4.26, 2.6). 
 
Note(2): Before compiling, please also edit the Makefile and set “INCLUDEDIR” to the 
path of your Linux kernel source tree. For example: 
 
INCLUDEDIR = /usr/src/linux-2.4.25/include 
 
 
Installing the driver 
 
To install the driver object module in the file system, become root and run: 
 

 
Note(1): For loading driver with Intel 82546 based cards, use ‘ChipSelector=1’ or leave

Note(2): For loading driver with National DP83820 based cards, use  ‘ChipSelector=0’ 
 
Note(3): ‘modprobe’ may be used in place of ‘insmod’ to resolve module dependencies. 
 
Configure the card using your preferred configuration tool, or edit the initialization script

might look something like this (substituting ethernet device number, example: eth0, 
eth1, etc):
