| wolfy | bieb: forcedeth.c is a source file, it has to be compiled |
| bieb | wolfy, I think forcedeth.c was installed during an rpm -ivh of the nvidia package |
| wolfy | FWITW, on older distros I've never managed to make the builtin driver work, I downloaded the driver from their site and installed it |
| bieb | that is the only reason I pointed it out Wolfy.. I downloaded it from Nvidia.. from here...http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_nforce_1.21.html |
| wolfy | and what is 4_U6 ? U4 is the current version AFAIK, with U5 pending release |
| bieb | my bad it is 4_U4 |
| wolfy | .c is a C source |
| bieb | ok |
| wolfy | lemme look at it |
| bieb | cool |
| wolfy | IF you are using kernel 2.6.9-42 you could use the included nvlan rpm |
| un1x01d | that's why i got rid of my nforce and got my self an intel |
| wolfy | un1x01d: they do work OK, I have several |
| un1x01d | too much of a hassle tho i liek to plug and pray |
| bieb | 2.6.9-22.EL |
| wolfy | install the rpm for 4.2 nvlan-rhel4.2-0.60-1.21 |
| bieb | from that package in the nvidia link? |
| wolfy | it's in the same zip the zip is a huge crap of rpms |
| bieb | in rhel4_u2? |
| wolfy | packed together for all suse, rh and fedora users in order to make sure they will never be able to upgrade the kernel |
| bieb | :D |
| wolfy | bieb: yes, over there |
| bieb | ok.. should I add a --force or --replace to the rpm -ivh command? Since I have attempted to install the on in rhel4_u4 |
| wolfy | rpm -e old one rpm -i correct_one you could use --replace maybe |
| bieb | which is a the better way to do it? |
| wolfy | I am too lazy to verify their scripts |
| bieb | lol |
| wolfy | actually you can try --force, it just copies a file under /lib/modules so it shouldn't break anything... hopefully I wonder who told them to use /etc/rc.modules instead of /etc/modules.conf |
| bieb | ok.. I ran rpm -i nvlan.blah.blah |
