Networking :: Help With Installing Marvell NIC

DSL doesn't support my NIC out of the box, so I downloaded the drivers off the Marvell website and tried installing them. I realized in the txt file it says something about needing a compiler...

Code Sample

2 Required Files and Tools
===========================

To install the sk98lin driver the following files
and tools on your Linux system are required:

- Linux kernel source available in directory /usr/src/linux

- Compiler tools (e.g. gcc)
***

What compiler do I use and where can I get it? I'm completely new to Linux so I'm not up on this compiling jazz.

Thanks.

the sk98lin driver is already there.

does:

sudo modprobe sk98lin
sudo netcardconfig

work?

Didn't seem to work. I typed in the command and this came up:

Regardless, thanks for your help, any other suggestions? Thanks.

EDIT: Apparently, this guy was having the same problems - http://damnsmalllinux.org/cgi-bin....=yukon. Doesn't seem like he got any help either

If this is an ISA nic card, you may be able to get it to be recognized if you provide more information like:

modprobe sk98lin irq=9 io=330

otherwise, if it is a PCI card, these resources should be autodetected.

It's an integrated Marvell Yukon 88E8053 PCI-E gigabit NIC. DSL isn't autodetecting it at all.
