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

From Wiki

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]: 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

  1. include <linux/module.h>
  2. include <linux/kernel.h>
  3. include <linux/string.h>
  4. include <linux/timer.h>

and add this code 


#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/moduleparam.h>
#include <linux/kernel.h>
#include <linux/string.h>
#include <linux/timer.h>


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.
