These instructions are the same regardless of whether you are doing an initial install or upgrading from
a previous version. If you are upgrading, your previous driver and client utilities are overwritten by the
new ones.

Installation Shell Script Overview
The installation shell scripts are available for PCI and kernel PCMCIA configurations (such as Red Hat
7.2, which ships with kernel PCMCIA enabled). For these systems, execute sh kpciinstall as root. This
program builds and installs the drivers and utilities for these configurations. If you have a PCI card only,
the driver is properly installed and configured, eliminating the need to download card and socket
services.

program builds and installs the drivers and utilities for these configurations. If you have a PCI card only,
the driver is properly installed and configured, eliminating the need to download card and socket
services.
To remove the drivers and utilities installed by kpciinstall, execute sh kcpiinstall -R. After you have
answered yes to the question asked, the drivers and the utilities are removed from your system. Other
options are provided for installing the utilities or drivers only. Executing sh kpciinstall -id installs and
builds the drivers, and sh kpciinstall -iu installs the utilities.

The options -ru and -rd remove the drivers or utilities respectively. For Red Hat 7.2 this is the kernel
source rpm named kernel-source-2.4.7-10.i386.rpm. You can find this on CD 2 of the Red Hat 7.2
distribution in the directory Redhat/RPMS. Copy the file to a local directory or install it from the CD by
entering rpm -iv kernel-source-2.4.7-10.i386.rpm. You must have the kernel source installed, and you
can verify the installation by executing ls /usr/src. If the source is installed, you should see the message
“linux-2.4 linux-2.4.7-10.” If you do not see this message, the sources are not installed. If the
kpciinstall script cannot locate the kernel source it prompts you to enter it. The prompt can appear if
you compile the kernel sources. The installation of sources using Red Hat 7.2 places a link to the source
in the /usr/src/Linux-2.4 directory. If the sources are installed, entering this directory in answer to the
prompt causes the operation to proceed.

Installation Procedures
Installing or upgrading to version 2.0 is relatively simple. Bash shell scripts cwinstall for PCMCIA
clients and kpciinstall for PCI clients are included in the download file to help install the driver and
ACU. The script can accommodate a new installation or an upgrade. In the case of an upgrade, it is no
longer necessary to remove any files from the previous version, cwinstall and kpciinstall accomplish
that as part of the installation process.

If you are running a Red Hat system, you have three installation options, which are described in this

Note
Because system-level changes are made, cwinstall and kpciinstall run properly only if executed as root.
Follow these steps to download and install the driver and ACU.
