Since the code should be building a kernel module, be sure you have installed the kernel-devel package for Fedora. That way you have the correct build environment for your running kernel.<br><br>I grabbed the code and the autorun.sh looks pretty straight forward. As root just run ./autorun.sh in the dir it untarred into. It will "do the right thing" if you have your system setup correctly otherwise (i.e. kernel-devel and gcc install. yum install gcc kernel-devel are your friends here).<br>
<br>If you are doing this on a different machine because the network won't work, use yumdownloader kernel-devel gcc and sneakernet the rpms over (assuming the alt box is also F13).<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jun 29, 2010 at 9:45 PM, Marc Ferguson <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:marcferguson@gmail.com">marcferguson@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Luckily; i686 works. So; now I'm working on getting my NIC recognized so I can finally install it and move on!</div>
<div><br></div><div>I downloaded the drivers for a Realtek RTL8111B on-board NIC. Someone actually started a Google Code for it. [1] I went through the readme file and it simply stated to run "./autorun.sh" as root. So; I did that and I got some errors. I worked through them, but still ran into some errors and at the end of it it never created the *.ko file that I need. I posted on their Google Code page for some help [2], so I'm hoping someone will answer. The project looks very new.</div>
<div><br></div><div>And that's where you fine folks come into play. The details of my issue is on their site, but I don't think I understand how the Makefiles and autorun.sh files play together. There seems to be a Makefile in the root directory and another one in the "src" directory. The one in root is being executed (I think), but it's not creating the 3 simple directories it's supposed to create. The error I'm getting makes me believe that the second Makefile isn't be executed at all. Can someone shed some light on this issue? Thanks.</div>
