How to install bcm5700 driver to work on RHEL 3 with SMP/UP Kernel?

[Augusto Becker Jucá]

Hi I did like the link: ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/products/servers/supportsoftware/linux/bcm5700-7.1.9c-1.src.txt And it couldnt work out if you did like it shows !!
So I did a symbolic link to compile the Kernel and it worked ...
But the problem is how install/rpmbuild the NIC drivers to work in UP and SMP Kernel ??

[Olivier Drouin]

They should just work. There is no difference between UP or SMP as far as bcm5700 is concerned...

What error do you have ?

[Augusto Becker Jucá]

The module cannot start in UP if you install and compile in SMP ... and if you read the document ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/products/servers/supportsoftware/linux/bcm5700-7.1.9c-1.src.txt thet part "The bcm5700 driver requires the presence of the kernel source code
and configuring the kernel source before building the bcm5700 driver.
The following steps need to be done once for each kernel that is
booted. For example, if the current kernel is UP (uni-processor)
and an SMP (symmetrical-multi-processor) kernel is booted, these
steps must be performed again to configure the kernel source for
SMP before building the bcm5700 driver for the SMP kernel."
Tell to install in bought UP and SMP and it dont work . . .
