NetGear FA311 ethernet card and RH7

Post by feni » Mon, 26 Feb 2001 03:25:53



Has anyone actually got this working? Ive downloaded the driver from
netgear, but no luck. If anyone has figured it out, Id appreciate you
explaining how you managed it.

TIA

Netmeisters,

I have been trying to build a driver for this card, using the
sources from the Scyld website (www.scyld.com), which supposedly has
the latest NIC drivers for Linux. When trying to compile natsemi.c
according to the instructions they provide, I get:

 gcc -DMODULE -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c natsemi.cnatsemi.c: In
function `netdev_open':
natsemi.c:588: structure has no member named `tbusy'
natsemi.c:589: structure has no member named `interrupt'
natsemi.c:595: structure has no member named `start'
natsemi.c: In function `netdev_timer':
natsemi.c:655: structure has no member named `tbusy'
natsemi.c:655: structure has no member named `tbusy'
natsemi.c: In function `start_tx':
natsemi.c:749: structure has no member named `tbusy'
natsemi.c:776: structure has no member named `tbusy'
natsemi.c:779: structure has no member named `tbusy'
natsemi.c: In function `intr_handler':
natsemi.c:813: structure has no member named `interrupt'
natsemi.c:816: structure has no member named `interrupt'
natsemi.c:868: structure has no member named `tbusy'
natsemi.c:869: `NET_BH' undeclared (first use in this function)
natsemi.c:869: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
natsemi.c:869: for each function it appears in.)
natsemi.c:889: structure has no member named `interrupt'
natsemi.c: In function `netdev_close':
natsemi.c:1156: structure has no member named `start'
natsemi.c:1157: structure has no member named `tbusy'

When I looked back through the sources, I found that, in fact, the
structure (I can't remember what it was) was defined in a header file
that is part of the Linux source tree (I can't remember which file),
and that in fact it does not have these members. I am running the 2.4
kernel and had installed the include files for that kernel. My
assumption is that the driver was for an earlier kernel version, but
any other explanations and/or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Matthew Fleming
