求救：RH9下broadcom网卡问题

xzhjie

我的本本是DELL1100，网卡是Broadcom 440x 10/100 Integrated Controller,在Windows2000和WinXP下正常驱动，在redhat下不能工作，谁能告诉我该如何去做？

cuky

我从网上下载了bcm4401的驱动
在执行insmod bcm4400这个命令的时候，报错误
Using /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/bcm4400.o
  /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/bcm4400.o:
      unresolved symbol kernel_flag_cacheline
  /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/bcm4400.o:
      unresolved symbol synchronize_irq
请问改怎么解决阿，我搞了一上午了都不知道该怎么做？各位大侠帮帮忙吧！

打电话到DELL去问问看，另外你装的REDHAT是什么版本的？

看看驱动里的说明文件，或许先要做点预备工作的，比如复制啊什么的，把你下载驱动的网址贴上来。

readme里说先要安装原代码，再加载网卡驱动。估计你第一步没做好。
The following are general guidelines for installing the driver. Refer to
DISTRIB.TXT for additional installation notes for various Linux distributions.

1. Install the source RPM package:

   rpm -ivh bcm4400-<version>.src.rpm

2. CD to the RPM path and build the binary driver for your kernel:

   cd /usr/src/{redhat,OpenLinux,turbo,packages,rpm ..}

   rpm -bb SPECS/bcm4400.spec

or

   rpmbuild -bb SPECS/bcm4400.spec (for RPM version 4.x.x)

Note that the RPM path is different for different Linux distributions.

3. Install the newly built package (driver and man page):

   rpm -ivh RPMS/i386/bcm4400-<version>.i386.rpm

The driver will be installed in the following path:

2.2.x kernels:

    /lib/modules/<kernel_version>/net/bcm4400.o

2.4.x kernels:

    /lib/modules/<kernel_version>/kernel/drivers/net/bcm4400.o

4. Load the driver:

   insmod bcm4400

5. To configure network protocol and address, refer to various Linux
documentations.


Building Driver From TAR File
=============================

The following are general guidelines for installing the driver. Refer to
DISTRIB.TXT for additional installation notes for various Linux distributions.

1. Create a directory and extract the files:

   tar xvzf bcm4400-<version>.tar.gz

2. Build the driver bcm4400.o as a loadable module for the running kernel:

   cd src
   make

3. Test the driver by loading it:

   insmod bcm4400.o

4. Install the driver and man page:

   make install

See RPM instructions above for the location of the installed driver.

5. To configure network protocol and address, refer to various Linux
documentations.

rpm包和tar包我都试了，都是这种错误

7dehao

/lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/bcm4400.o和
/lib/modules/<kernel_version>/kernel/drivers/net/bcm4400.o
的位置不一样啊。

如果把bcm4400.o拷贝到/lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/目录下呢？

我都快崩溃了

真高兴看一个和我用同一个牌子的网卡的朋友，我的安装情况是这样的;
你必须以root 用户身份进入os然后自己编辑程序安装，我是这样安装的：

然后你进入网络设定：#redhat-config-network
进入后按新添加，然后选择ehternet,就可以看到bcm4401这个网卡了，接下来的事我想就简单了吧！

我原来安装的时候是普通进户进入然后获得root 权限安装，失败，最后以root身份进入后安装就可以了，你试试！
我是在kde下使用用的，gnome 很少用，应该是可以用了！
另外要注意的是，你也可以用rpm安装，但我没试过，应该也是可以的！
