[tHub]

Hi, I'm kinda new to linux and this is giving me a hard time
Running breezy and it didnt detect the card.
I'm getting this error http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/8301/sc...eenshot17fc.png (http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/8301/screenshot17fc.png)
driver: http://www.encore-usa.com/Drivers/ENL832-T...CNT_Drivers.zip (http://www.encore-usa.com/Drivers/ENL832-TX-ICNT_Drivers.zip)
sundance(one of the driver files thats giving me the error): http://www.eazyshare.com/user_uploads/sund...ance_main.c.TXT (http://www.eazyshare.com/user_uploads/sundance_main.c.TXT)
had to rename it to .TXT so i could upload

I have the same NIC and I cannot even run make (not installed I guess)

I tried
1) sudo apt-get install build-essential
Returned: package build-essential is not available
2) sudo apt-get install make
Returned: package make is not available

why isnt make included by default ?
can someone attach the .o file so that I can use that directly?

Ok, here the solution that worked for me.

The source is here: http://www.ubuntu-es.org/index.php?q=node/15332
But its in spanish, so ill do my best...

1) Install kernel-source, kernel-headers, make and gcc (so you can compile)

2) Download the drivers from the web page (www.encore-usa.com i think)

3) Edit sundance_main.c:

Line 1400:
Change this:
pci_dma_sync_single
To This"
pci_dma_sync_single_for_cpu

4) Comment line 1653 (just add // at the begening of the line)

5) Just follow the instructions in the included readme, and then your good to go :D


My problem comes when i reboot. The network is down, and i cant find a way to get it working again, the card is installed and...im just hating this network card.

If i find out how to make the network card work for ever, ill post it here...

Good luck !


// EDIT //

Ok, back to crappy network issues; i have a partial solution
Everytime I log in, i have to remove the module from the kernel and the load it again, so it would be something like this
sudo rmmod sundance
and then i add it again (please, cd to the directory in which the files are located)
sudo insmod ./sundance.ko

When i have a script that does this automatically, ill tell you, or if i have another solution...

NOTE: a little bird told me that i could just compile the kernel again, and it would include the module...ill try that and ill tell you whats up...
