2.
Install the RPMs. The following is an example for SLES9:
[root@myhost1 i586]# rpm -ivh kernel-module-sfc-2.6.5-7.244
-smp-2.1.0111-0.sf.1.SLES9.i586.rpm

Run "yast" to configure the SMC Server Adapter. You will see two new Ethernet
Controllers available for configuration, only one of which needs to be configured
for correct operation. When you select an Ethernet Controller to configure, the
"Configuration Name" will take one of the following forms:
a.
e
th-bus-pci-dddd:dd:dd.N
b.
eth-id-00:0F:53:XX:XX:XX
The correct Ethernet Controller to configure is usually the first controller in the
pair, and the "Configuration Name" either takes the first form ending in "
the second form. If the "Configuration Name" ends in "
selected the incorrect Ethernet Controller and you should select the other one
in the pair.
Once configured, the "Configuration Name" for the correct Ethernet Controller
will change to the second form, and an
the incorrect Ethernet Controller is chosen and configured, then the
"Configuration Name" will remain as "
configuration by YaST, and an
this case, you should remove the configuration for this Ethernet Controller and
configure the other Ethernet Controller of the pair.
Fedora Core distributions
These instructions cover installation and configuration of the SMC Server Adapter
on Fedora Core 4, 5 and 6 distributions (FC4, FC5 and FC6).
1.
Install the RPMs. The following is an example for Fedora Core 5:
[root@myhost1 i686]# rpm -ivh kernel-module-sfc-2.6.18-1.2257
.fc5smp-2.1.0111-0.sf.1.FC5.i686.rpm

There are two tools that can be used for configuring the SMC Server Adapter:
a.
SMC recommends using the Network Administration Tool ("neat") to
configure the new network interface. Neat is a GUI-based application and
therefore requires an X server to run.
b.
Alternatively the command line program "kudzu" can be used. However,
you may find when kudzu is run that you are NOT presented with an option
to configure the new network interface. If this occurs, you will need to
construct the configuration file "
manually.
