Network Installations; Patching Pci Files (Optional); Unloading/Removing The Tg3 Driver - D-Link DGE-560SX User Manual

D-Link DGE-560SX User Guide

3.5.4 Network Installations

For network installations through NFS, FTP, or HTTP (using a network boot disk or PXE), a
driver disk that contains the tg3 driver may be needed. The driver disk images for the most
recent Red Hat versions are included. Boot drivers for other Linux versions can be compiled
by modifying the Makefile and the make environment. Further information is available from
the Red Hat website, http://www.redhat.com.
To create the driver disk, select the appropriate image file (located in tg3_sup-version.tar.gz)
and type the following:
dd if=<version>.dd.img of=/dev/fd0

3.5.5 Patching PCI Files (Optional)

For hardware detection utilities such as Red Hat kudzu to properly identify tg3 supported
devices, a number of files containing PCI vendor and device information may need to be
updated.
Apply the updates by running the scripts provided in the Supplemental tar file. For example,
on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, apply the updates by doing the following:
./patch_pcitbl.sh /usr/share/hwdata/pcitable pci.updates
/usr/share/hwdata/pcitable.new
./patch_pciids.sh /usr/share/hwdata/pci.ids pci.updates
/usr/share/hwdata/pci.ids.new
Next, the old files can be backed up and the new files can be renamed for use.
cp /usr/share/hwdata/pci.ids /usr/share/hwdata/old.pci.ids
cp /usr/share/hwdata/pci.ids.new /usr/share/hwdata/pci.ids
cp /usr/share/hwdata/pcitable /usr/share/hwdata/old.pcitable
cp /usr/share/hwdata/pcitable.new /usr/share/hwdata/pcitable
NOTE: The paths above are for Red Hat distributions. These paths may be different on
other distributions.
