I am trying to get a Interwrite Learning Board to work on my Ubuntu 8.10-install. But to make it work the way it should I have to build a gtco USB drive kernel module...
The instructions below came with the install CD, but I am not shure how to do these things. What packages do I need to download? Where is the symbolic link supose to be??
Anyone?
================================================== ==============================
Recomended Kernel version to build against >= 2.6.18
To build the gtco USB driver kernel module, please follow the instructions below.
Building a kernel module should only be performed by a Linux Administrator or
someone with prior experience building kernel modules.
================================================== ===============================
1. Download and install any packages that your Distribution requires to build kernel modules.
2. Download the kernel source that matches your currently installed kernel. Type "uname -r" to display your current kernel version.
2. Make sure that /usr/src/linux is a symbolic link to your current kernel source code's root directory.
3. Type "make"
4. Type "make install" to copy the driver module to the modules directory.
To verify module installation:
==============================
Plug in a supported device and the driver should load.
To see if the module is loaded type "/sbin/lsmod" and look for "gtco" in the list.
You can see the kernel messages by typing "dmesg | more".
