need Make Install to install NIC driver
need Make Install to install NIC driver
Ok so I am not the best Linux guy around. We have to have a Centos 5 on a server running another program. So we build it on a Dell T1600 that we had laying around. Centos did not recognize the drivers for the NIC. Intell 825xx. I went to Intell's site and downloaded them. Folowing the readme instruction it says at the end type Make Install. I can't. I don't have the developer tools. I can't get the developer tools without the NIC drivers working. Any suggestion?
Re: need Make Install to install NIC driver
Yes. Throw away what you've done so far and stick "ELRepo" into google and find their website. They package hardware drivers as kmod packages that survive kernel updates. You'll need the PCI vendor and device id from an lspci -nn | grep -i net to work out which driver it is that you need. Having said that, I'm surprised that the built-in CentOS drivers don't already detect the cards as Intels are pretty common. If you can post the device id here then I can check on a CentOS 5 system to see if they should already be detected.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

Just run lspci -nn and see if there is any output.

TrevorH is right. In theelrepo repo, there are drivers, for your intel 825xx. But you need the exact type. So?mraganpbr wrote:Thanks Trevor

You can download manually, and install with:
Code: Select all
yum localinstall package.rpm
