[Tbox-talk] Re: NIC driver help

[Christoph L. <chr...@la...>]

The 1.6.5 release has a 2.4.18 kernel. Install the kernel headers package.

apt-get install kernel-headers-2.4.18-386

Then compile your driver on the box itself using the
kernel headers in /usr/src. Install the .o file in the proper /lib/modules
directory and you should be set.
