Linux Redhat - Asus NRL-LS533 User Manual

6. Linux RedHat 7.2

I. ADAPTEC SCSI Driver Installation
The RedHat 7.2 versions already bundle with Adaptec AIC-7892X Ultra 160
SCSI driver support.
II. Broadcom Gigabit LAN Driver Installation
Packaging
The Linux driver is released in two packaging formats: source RPM and
compressed tar formats. The file names for the two packages are bcm5700-
<version>.src.rpm and bcm5700-<version>.tar.gz, respectively. Identical source
files to build the driver are included in both packages. The tar file contains
additional utilities such as patches and driver diskette images for network
installation. The files are located in "\drivers\lan\broadcom\linux\driver" of
the ASUS Support CD.
Installing Source RPM Package
1. Install the source RPM package:
rpm -ivh bcm5700-<version>.src.rpm
NOTE: If installing the driver on SuSE 7.x distributions, refer to
the Notes section below before continuing.
2. Change the directory to the RPM path and build the binary driver for your
kernel:
cd /usr/src/{redhat,OpenLinux,turbo,packages,rpm ..}
rpm -bb SPECS/bcm5700.spec
Note that the RPM path is different for different Linux distributions.
3. Install the newly built package (driver and man page):
rpm -ivh RPMS/i386/bcm5700-<version>.i386.rpm
Note that the --force option is needed if installing on Red Hat 7.1,
7.2, and others that already contain an older version of the driver.
