Installing the Driver Software Your Copper Gigabit Ethernet Card must be physically installed in the server before installing the software driver. If you are installing more than one Copper Gigabit Ethernet Card, you must perform the following procedure for each card. This version of the driver requires a base Red Hat Linux 6.1 or Red Hat Linux 6.2 with Linux kernel version 2.2.12, basic utilities, and the C development system. To install the driver software: 1. Login as root, insert the floppy disk with the GA622T driver, and mount the disk into the system with the following command: # mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt 2. Copy the files from floppy into an appropriate directory. # mkdir ga622t # cd ga622t # cp /mnt/linux/* . 3. To create a new driver object module and install the current driver object module in the file system, run the following command: # make gam.o # cp gam.o /lib/modules/2.2.12-20/net Note: You may need to enter a different pathname than what is shown on the last line, above, depending on the Linux kernel version number you have.To find out the exact version number of the Linux kernel, use this command: ls -al /lib/modules Linux driver software 7-2

Installing the Driver Software
Your Copper Gigabit Ethernet Card must be physically installed in the server before
installing the software driver. If you are installing more than one Copper Gigabit
Ethernet Card, you must perform the following procedure for each card.
This version of the driver requires a base Red Hat Linux 6.1 or Red Hat Linux 6.2
with Linux kernel version 2.2.12, basic utilities, and the C development system.
To install the driver software:
1.
Login as root, insert the floppy disk with the GA622T driver, and mount the disk
into the system with the following command:
# mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt
2.
Copy the files from floppy into an appropriate directory.
# mkdir ga622t
# cd ga622t
# cp /mnt/linux/* .
3.
To create a new driver object module and install the current driver object module
in the file system, run the following command:
# make gam.o
# cp gam.o /lib/modules/2.2.12-20/net
Note:
You may need to enter a different pathname than what is shown on the
last line, above, depending on the Linux kernel version number you have.To find
out the exact version number of the Linux kernel, use this command:
ls -al /lib/modules
