Install the network card Encore ENL832-TX-ICNT on Linux

Following we show how to install the network card Encore ENL832-TX-ICNT on Linux.

Obs.: You must to have kernel-headers and linux-headers installed

1. Downloading encore drivers:

> wget http://www.encore-usa.com/download/driver/ENL832-TX-ICNT_Drivers.zip

2. Unzip the files:

> unzip ENL832-TX-ICNT_Drivers.zip

3. Change to directory:

> cd ENL832-TX-ICNT_Drivers/Linux

Now lets edit the file "sundance_main_c":

4. Go to line 1400 and change :

pci_dma_sync_single

by:

pci_dma_sync_single_for_cpu

5. Go to line 1653 and delete the line, with following:

strcpy(info.bus_info, np->pci_dev->slot_name);

6. Save e close the file

7. Compilling

> make all

8. (Optional) if the following error happens

make -C /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.1.8.el5/build SUBDIRS=/root/placarede/ENL832-TX-ICNT_Driver/Linux modules make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-8.1.8.el5-i686' CC [M] /root/placarede/ENL832-TX-ICNT_Driver/Linux/sundance_main.o /root/placarede/ENL832-TX-ICNT_Driver/Linux/sundance_main.c:221:2: error: invalid preprocessing directive #MODULE_PARM /root/placarede/ENL832-TX-ICNT_Driver/Linux/sundance_main.c:222:2: error: invalid preprocessing directive #MODULE_PARM /root/placarede/ENL832-TX-ICNT_Driver/Linux/sundance_main.c:223:2: error: invalid preprocessing directive #MODULE_PARM /root/placarede/ENL832-TX-ICNT_Driver/Linux/sundance_main.c:224:2: error: invalid preprocessing directive #MODULE_PARM /root/placarede/ENL832-TX-ICNT_Driver/Linux/sundance_main.c: In function â__check_mediaâ: /root/placarede/ENL832-TX-ICNT_Driver/Linux/sundance_main.c:228: warning: return from incompatible pointer type make[2]: *** [/root/placarede/ENL832-TX-ICNT_Driver/Linux/sundance_main.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [_module_/root/placarede/ENL832-TX-ICNT_Driver/Linux] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-8.1.8.el5-i686' make: *** [all] Error 2

9.(Optional) Open file sundance_main.c again and search for

and add this code

#include 
 * 1) include 
 * 1) include 
 * 2) include 
 * 3) include 

10.(Optional) On the lines with problem, toggle comments and change likes

module_param(debug, int,0); //MODULE_PARM(debug, "i"); module_param(rx_copybreak,int,0); //MODULE_PARM(rx_copybreak, "i"); module_param(media,charp,0); //MODULE_PARM(media, "1-" __MODULE_STRING(MAX_UNITS) "s"); module_param(flowctrl,int,0); //MODULE_PARM(flowctrl, "i");

11. Compile again

> make all

This will create files sundance.ko and sundance.o.

12. Copy file sundance.ko to directory:

> /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net

13. Loading the modules:

> modprobe sundance

Now config the network.
