Since I'm running CentOS 5, I just understood that I am running an old 2.6 kernel (with 3.x, driver seems to be available).
I have to make an USB NIC working on my new install CentOS 5.
I'm using CentOS 5 because of Intel Pentium M (centrino) lack of PEA support ... Can't run CentOS 6 (hell!).
So, I downloaded driver from Web Site of the constructor, compile it (worked) and install it (doesn't worked because the "install" script specified into Makefile is simply NOT present : thanks to the constructor ...).
So, I have a KO file that I added here : /lib/modules/2.6.18-371.6.1.el5/kernel/drivers/net/usb/mcs7830.ko
Please note that I manually created the folder and copied the ko file ...
Ok, if I use "modprobe", it doesn't work ... but using "insmod" work ... but the card is still not present (eth1) ...
What must I do now ?
I am totaly lost ...
EDIT: here is kernel log :
Code: Select all
usbnet_init
usbcore: registered new driver MOSCHIP usb-ethernet driver
usb 1-1: USB disconnect, address 2
usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3
usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
I probably forget something because the install script was not present ...
EDIT3: ok, found the "depmod" which permet now the "modprobe" to load the driver
