Installation notes for Network drivers.#To install your network drivers: 1. Download the network driver from the Latest Software Updates page. 2. Compare the cksum results with the checksum posted on the Latest Software Updates page. # cksum Net.<drv_name>.YYYYMMDD.tar.gz 3. Unpack the driver: # zcat Net.<drv_name>.YYYYMMDD.tar.gz | tar x 4. Backup the existing network driver. If you wish to keep a copy of the existing driver, you'll need to save it to a safe location first, to prevent it from being overwritten during installation. # cp -vc /bin/Net.<drv_name> /bin/Net.<drv_name>.`date +"%y%m%d_%H%M%S"` 5. Copy the updated driver to the /bin directory: # cp Net.<drv_name> /bin 6. Make sure that the binaries are executable and that the file's owner and group are correc: # chmod 755 /bin/Net.<drv_name> |
