Hello.

I have LAN card driver, but dont have any clue how to install that. There is one RPM pack and one TAR.GZ. There is no such comand as 'MAKE' in dsl to compile that. Please help me to install LAN card.

Thanks.

Hi
In most cases you do not need to add drivers to make your lan card work. They are recognized and loaded at boot time. From my experience it is easier and better to replace your lan card than mess around with drivers. You can find RTL8139 based cards for just a few bucks and they work great.
Good luck

I Agree, but it's laptop and LAN card is built in.

You can get the 'make' command by installing gcc1.dsl from the MyDSL Repository.
