About Variables In the Driver Installation Instructions
These conventions are used for variable text for kernel strings and
module names in the instructions on the following pages.
Kernel String Conventions
<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
. For example:
smp
For an Enterprise kernel, the kernel string will end in
enterprise
For a Bigmem kernel, the kernel string will end in
example:
2.4.18-14bigmem
For a Hugemem kernel, the kernel string will end in
For example:
Module Naming Conventions
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 (
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:
For SMP kernels:
For Enterprise kernels:
For Bigmem kernels:
For Hugemem kernels:
For IA32E kernels:
