[ixp1200] Re: problems with octmac.o

[Ricardo Camarena Ramos]

Hi Shweta.

I had several problems when trying to "see" the ports. I don't remember 
I had that problem with octmac.o but I had with pciDg.o on the Linux 
host. What I did was to recompile the module as follows:

cd /usr/src/linux
edit Makefile and change the EXTRAVERSION=xxxx
Where xxxx is the kernel version you are booting up in the Linux host.
For example, if your kernel is 2.4.17-3smp put EXTRAVERSION=-3smp
make mrproper
make oldconfig
make dep
cd /mnt/cdrom/ENP-2505_Driver
rpm -recompile boot_drv-2.0-1.src.rpm
cd /opt/ixasdk/enp-2505/bin
insmod pciDg.o
After that I got a warning: tainted kernel. However the module loads OK.

By the way, if you have a BV you must have patched the installation to 
work correctly with the MACs (this includes the octmac.o module). I 
prepared a log when I did it. Please look at  "Corrections specific for 
Brivadeli card as specified by Joel Schuetze from Intel" section on 
http://webdiee.cem.itesm.mx/web2/comunicaciones/proyectos/LNX 2004-09 
Installation log for Brivadeli card IXP1200 V3.txt

You can find the files specified on it in:
"Anexo a guia V2.doc" which is located in the same page.

Hope it helps.
