[ale] Trying to Install a Realtek NIC Driver on Fedora 13

[Marc Ferguson]

Hi All,

I've posted sporadically, but if anyone is following I can't get Fedora 13
x86_64 Live to work properly with my video card. Luckily; i686 works. So;
now I'm working on getting my NIC recognized so I can finally install it and
move on!

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.

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.
