Make Question (Network Card)
From: "Bryan S. Tyson"
From: John Murphy
The ethernet card I am using, or shall we say attempting to use, is the Linksys LNE100TX. It comes with a tgz file that you extract, then run make. The whole process went smoothly on my Caldera 2.4 system. I believe the card is correctly installed at this time.
On my SuSE system, however, when I type "make," it goes for a while, then gives this message:
make: *** No rule to make target `/usr/src/linux/drivers/net/8390.h', needed by `ne2k-pci.o'. Stop.
What does this mean, and is there anything I can do about it?
I tried downloading the latest version from the Linksys site, and it did the same thing.
Thanks.

I use Suse 7.0 and on the initial setup in yast for the network it auto detected the card no problem. I didn't install any drivers for it, for once I did something right. I don't know if it makes any difference on the version number of the cards but I think my version was 4.1 of the LNE100TX. It actually had a green sticker with a penguin on the box saying tested with Linux.
I was running Mandrake before and with that setup I picked the tulip driver and it worked fine.

Why are you so picky about Netgear. I've been using FA310TX for years with no problems. Now it's stock 2.2.14 SuSE kernel, tulip driver, which comes with SuSE kernel. IMHO, Netgear FA310TX is one of the best cards. -Kastus
However, you can get Donald Beckers SRPM for all his drivers from www.scyld.com
I have not had a problem compiling and installing this under SuSE 6.4 and 7.0.
Just wanted give a heads up and a FYI :-).

I can't agree with that. I've got Netgear FA310TX cards in two machines. No problems. Just load the tulip module and you're done. Nice cards for US$18.50. -- Robert S.
