There was a discussion a couple of weeks ago regarding drivers written for Red Hat and their compatibility with SuSE. Has anyone tried an Alacritech network accelerator card on SuSE? It has drivers for Red Hat. Gary Vetter ND Retirement and Investment Office 701 328-9879
Drivers in Linux are called Kernel modules. They work the same on every distribution out in the world. :) Are these binary only drivers? If not then get the src and compile them against the kernel your running. If they are binary only then the only issue you have is that you have to run the same version of the Linux kernel that they were compiled for..ie if they were compiled for 2.4.9 which is what RH used for 7.2 then you have to use that version of the Linux kernel. When we are talking about drivers it has nothing to do with what distribution your running. It has to do with the kernel version...or if it's for X then you need to have the same X version that it was compiled for... Cheers! * Vetter, Gary H.
