7 Linux Driver Setup68Installing Advanced Server FeaturesThe driver is released in two packaging formats, source RPM and compressed tar archive.The file names for the two packages are bcm5700-.src.rpm and bcm5700-.tar.gz respectively. Identical files to build the driver are included in bothpackages.Installing the TAR Archive1 To uncompress and expand tar archive, run:tar xvfz basplnx-{version}.tgz2 CD to the basplnx-{version} subdirectory:cd basplnx-{version}To install the archive, perform the following:1 Configure the major device number for Advanced Server Features configuration. Thedefault major number is 254 and it can be changed by modifying “Makefile.”2 To build kernel module “basp.o”, type:makeThe Make process will automatically build the correct module for different kernelfavors, e.g., symbol versioning and SMP support. There is NO need to define -DMODVERSIONS in the Makefile.3 To create device file and to copy files, type:make install4 To update the module reference, type:depmod -a5 To load the driver, type:insmod basp6 See “Configuring Teams” on page 69 to set up the teams.Installing the RPM Package1 To install RPM source package, run:rpm -i basplnx-{version}.src.rpm2 CD to the RPM path and build the binary driver for the kernel:cd /usr/src/{redhat, OpenLinux, turbo, ...}rpm -bb SPECS/basplnx.specThe RPM path is different for different Linux distributions.3 To install the newly built package, type:rpm -i RPMS/i386/basplnx-{version}.i386.rpmThe driver and other required files will be installed.4 To load the driver, type:insmod baspNOTE: Before installing the tar archive, copy the tar archive from the CD to a tempdirectory on your PC.NOTE: Kernel sources must be installed and properly configured to buildthe driver.
