 How To Drive Attansic L2 100/100 Fast Ethernet Under FC7  

Summary:

    For personal use, I diy a personal computer, the main board is from ASUS, integrated with Attansic L2 10/200 Fast ethernet, the seller provided with the device drive for windows series, but I want to install it with Linux which is fedore core 7, what a pity, the network card has not been supported be default installation, and then google......

Solveing The Problem:

    I downloaded L2-linux-driver_new.rar from internet, unpacked it under windows xp, and then copy all the files into FC7, compile it, errors appeared: 

[root@localhost src]# make
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.21/build SUBDIRS=/home/mark/net_driver/L2-linux-driver_new/src modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.21'
  CC [M]  /home/mark/net_driver/L2-linux-driver_new/src/at_main.o
/home/mark/net_driver/L2-linux-driver_new/src/at_main.c: In function ‘at_vlan_rx_kill_vid’:
/home/mark/net_driver/L2-linux-driver_new/src/at_main.c:1490: error: ‘struct vlan_group’ has no member named ‘vlan_devices’
/home/mark/net_driver/L2-linux-driver_new/src/at_main.c: In function ‘at_restore_vlan’:
/home/mark/net_driver/L2-linux-driver_new/src/at_main.c:1511: error: ‘struct vlan_group’ has no member named ‘vlan_devices’
make[2]: *** [/home/mark/net_driver/L2-linux-driver_new/src/at_main.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [_module_/home/mark/net_driver/L2-linux-driver_new/src] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.21'
make: *** [default] Error 2

and then I opened at_main.c file, found two debug functions:

at_vlan_rx_kill_vid

at_restore_vlan

drop the content of the functions, return directly.

compile again, passed!

then

# make install

reboot

# ifconfig

OK，you could see the device eth0......
