SuSE 8.2 RealPort Installation Instructions SuSE 8.2 RealPort Installation Instructions

Preparing for the Installation:

In SuSE 8.2, we had to download and install the following kernel and kernel source:

ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/8.2/suse/i586/kernel-source-2.4.20.SuSE-62.i586.rpm ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/8.2/suse/i586/k_deflt-62.i586.rpm

After these are installed, please try installing the latest driver using the following installation.

Installation instructions:

# script

Make sure your kernel source is installed and the symbolic link is created:

# rpm -qa | grep kernel
# uname -r

The kernel-source should match your running kernel exactly (uname -r). If not please install the matching kernel-source from your SuSE media or download source.

# ls -l /usr/src

Verify symbolic link between kernel source directory and 'linux'. If none is there, create one:

# ln -s /usr/src/linux-(version) /usr/src/linux

Rebuild the source rpm:

# rpm --rebuild realport-1.6.0.src.rpm
# rpm -i /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i386/realport-1.6.0.i386.rpm

Configuring the EtherLite unit and ports from the command line:

# /usr/bin/dgrp/config/dgrp_cfg_node init (ttyid) (ip_address) (number_of_ports)

For example:

# /usr/bin/dgrp/config/dgrp_cfg_node init a 192.168.1.1 16

When completed:

# [Ctrl] d

If errors were generated, please send use the file named typescript located in the directory where you began the installation to Support Wizards for analysis.
