Reply With QuoteCould you post the errors you are getting?
Hi,
Im am trying to compile "fealnx.c" (network card driver) on my system (RedHat 8.0, kernel 2.4.18-14), but am am getting a LOT of errors ( fealnx.c is distributed along with kernel sources).
The instruction am using is
gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c fealnx.c
could anyone give any hints on how to solve this problem ? (it would be GREAT if anyone could sen the "fealnx.o" file for my kernel...)
thanks for any help,
joao.
Could you post the errors you are getting?
Strange fealnx.c is included in the source, but there doesn't seem to be an entry in xconfig/menuconfig to enable it. ???
What make/model NIC is this?
The command you are using to compile the module is outdated and will not work.
What processor does your system have? For now I will just compile the module for you and post it for you to download.

Thanks for your reply! Here go the errors... I didn't inlude them all, but I suppose that most of them (if not all) will disapear once the fundamental one is found...

Thanks for your reply! It is in fact strange that the driver is included, but not compiled... the NIC is a 10/100 - PCI Lancard from "SafeWay" and I was able to use it without anu problems with both RedHat 7.1 and Mandrake 8.
My processor is an AMD Athlon 1200. Thanks for posting the driver, but could you please tell me what is the command used for compiling it?
bye,
Joćo.
Here is the driver.
http://www.getlinuxonline.com/Downloads/fealnx.o
Copy it to /lib/modules/2.4.18-14/kernel/drivers/net
Then:
chown root.root /lib/modules/2.4.18-14/kernel/drivers/net/fealnx.o
chmod 0644 /lib/modules/2.4.18-14/kernel/drivers/net/fealnx.o
depmod -a
Now you can try it and see if it works.
To compile the module you must first prepare the kernel source.
cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-14
make mrproper
make xconfig
click "load configuration from file"
For your althon processor in the dialog:
/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-14/configs/kernel-2.4.18-athlon.config
click "OK"
click "save & exit"
Since I don't see a way to enable the fealnx.o module in xconfig (it has to be there) you will have to enable it manually in the .config file. This is only necessary to use use the "long way" below.
Open /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-14/.config in a text editor.
Find the line: CONFIG_FEALNX= is not set
change it to: CONFIG_FEALNX=m
Save the changes & exit
Open /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-14/Makefile in a text editor. Remove the word custom at the end of the "EXTRAVERSION" line
VERSION = 2
PATCHLEVEL = 4
SUBLEVEL = 18
EXTRAVERSION = -14custom
save the changes & exit
make dep
Now there are two ways to compile the module. A "long way" by compiling the entire drivers/net directory or just the module itself. Sometimes if there are other dependancies you are not aware of that must be compiled first, compiling the entire directory is easier.
Long way:
make modules SUBDIRS=drivers/net
Short way. Just the fealnx.o module itself:
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-14/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i686 -malign-functions=4 -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS -include /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-14/include/linux/modversions.h -nostdinc -I /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2/include -DKBUILD_BASENAME=fealnx -c -o fealnx.o fealnx.c
Thats it. ;D
The fealnx.o module will be in /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-14/drivers/net

THANKS JimH !
The NIC is working fine, I am already replying from Linux...
bye,
Joao.
Cooooool! 8) ;D

Hi,
I'be been having the same problems with the fealnx drivers as jjanela, except none of the fixes you have suggested on here work for me :S
I have RH Linux 8.0 with kernel 2.4.18-14, as does jjanela too. I ran the same command and got the same errors.. however I am still having troubles.
I downloaded the version you compiled, but when my system starts, this comes up in the boot process:
fealnx device does not seem to be present delaying eth0 initalisation
So I assume this is because it was compiled for an athlon processor (I have a 333Mhz K-6 2) so I take the long was, except this time I use the kernel-2.4.18-i386.config file, same error while booting.
So I decide to apply the instructions in the readme which came with the drivers, to the fealnx.o file which you provided..
# insmod fealnx.o
After this command I got about 10 errors, like:
fealnx.o: unresolved symbol alloc_skb_r37701013
I get about 10 lines of them, all with a different thingy at the end (thingy = alloc_skb_r37701013 - I'm kinda new at linux, sue me :P).
Now i've decided to take the short meathod, first snag i hit with that is this:
CC1: Invalid Option `prefered_stack_boundry=2'
Ok, so I checked, and yes I remembered to add the m before it, so I take that out and try again, I get a LOT of these errors:
fealnx.c:700: Warning: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
Right now i'm not of ideas.. could you suggest anything?
K6-2 333? I don't recall AMD releasing a K6-2 333. Typo?
Correct the module is compiled with althon optimizations. It will not work with an i386 kernel.
These won't work because the module will not be compiled with the correct optimizations. Thats why you get the unresolved symbol errorsSo I decide to apply the instructions in the readme which came with the drivers, to the fealnx.o file which you provided..
Short method from the above will not work because it is for an athlon kernel. The long method above will work.Now i've decided to take the short meathod, first snag i hit with that is this:
