[B2-devel] Forward of moderated message

[<bas...@li...>]

Hi,

I'm sorry for my lack in knowledge about the diff command, but I would like to commit two updates to files to compile on modern Linux systems for the Linux NetDriver (sheep_net networking module).
Can someone review the changes and perhaps commit the changes?

The files are in /BasiliskII/src/Unix/Linux/NetDriver

In makefile, due to new locations of misc drivers, lines 47-48 need to be changed into:
	install -d $(KERNEL_DIR)/kernel/drivers/misc
	install -m 644 sheep_net.$(MP) $(KERNEL_DIR)/kernel/drivers/misc

In the sheep_net.c file, lines 23-33 need to be commented out:
/* 
#include <linux/config.h>
#include "config.h"
#include <linux/autoconf.h>

#if defined(CONFIG_MODVERSIONS) && !defined(MODVERSIONS)
#define MODVERSIONS
#endif

#if defined(MODVERSIONS)
#include <linux/modversions.h>
#endif
 */

Compile instructions for the Sheep_net module:
-Install kernel sources
-cd to BasiliskII/src/Unix/Linux/NetDriver source folder
-make
-su make install

Load the driver with modprobe sheep_net
Start Basilisk/SheepShaverGUI and chose your network card as networking interface, e.g. eth0

Best,
Howard
