These conventions are used for variable text for kernel strings and 
module names in the instructions on the following pages. 

<kernel string> refers to the kernel version.

The kernel string will have different endings, depending on the 
kernel you are using.

„

For an SMP kernel (multi-processor), the kernel string will end 
in 

smp

. For example: 

2.4.18-14smp

.

„

For an Enterprise kernel, the kernel string will end in 

enterprise

. For example: 

2.4.18-14enterprise

„

For a Bigmem kernel, the kernel string will end in 

bigmem. 

For 

example: 

2.4.18-14bigmem

„

For a Hugemem kernel, the kernel string will end in 

hugemem

. 

For example: 

2.4.18-14hugmem

3w-9xxx.* refers to the specific module you will copy in the 
examples shown in steps 3 and 4. 

The name of the module you will copy (

3w-9xxx.*

) varies, 

depending on the kernel; however you will always copy it to a file 
named 3w-9xxx.o for 2.4 kernels, or 3w-9xxx.ko for 2.6 kernels. 
The available module files are:

„

For UP kernels: 

3w-9xxx.o

„

For SMP kernels: 

3w-9xxx.smp

„

For Enterprise kernels: 

3w-9xxx.ent

„

For Bigmem kernels: 

3w-9xxx.big

„

For Hugemem kernels: 

3w-9xxx.hug

„

For IA32E kernels: 

3w-9xxx.i32
