June 17, 200818 yr Hello. I'm complete newbie when it comes to unraid and linux so please forgive my ignorance. I'm trying to install a driver for on board LAN on Asus P5E VM-HDMI. 1. I’ve downloaded a driver from asus:http://dlsvr03.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/socket775/P5KPL-CM/LinuxDrivers.zip 2. Unzipped on XP machine. 3. Copy LAN folder to packages directory on flash drive. 4. Run a command "make install' inside /src directory I'm get an error -bash: make: command not found 5. Tried same command from within mc using putty but nothing happens. What do I do next. Any help would be appreciated. Tibbar.
June 17, 200818 yr unRAID is a lean, mean storage machine, and as such, does not have the development tools required to compile software or drivers. It doesn't have "make" installed nor does it have headers and libraries that would be needed to build your driver. Thus the error you're seeing. If the onboard LAN is not supported out of the box, you have two choices. Either you can build your own custom kernel with the driver installed (this requires a Slackware development system with all the development tools installed--search the forum for "custom kernel") or you can just pop in a NIC that is supported such as an Intel PRO/1000. Adding the second NIC is probably the easier route. Especially considering the fact that you might have to continually re-build kernels to continue using the latest version of unRAID. Oh yeah, the 3rd (and best) option, is to ask Tom to include the driver in the next build.
