NT4 5.8.2 Broadcom Gigabit LAN Driver Installation W2K WXP NNW Packaging SCO UNX The Linux driver is released in two packaging formats: source RPM and LNX compressed tar formats. The file names for the two packages are bcm5700-.src.rpm and bcm5700-.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-.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-.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. 5-56 Chapter 5: Driver installation

5.8.2 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.
