How to install lan card driver in Linux

Most Linux drives come in zip format. You can extract them with tar utility. You can obtain LAN

driver directly from manufactures sites or form other media like motherboard C.

!e assume that you have LAN driver and copied it in your root directory.

"xtract driver file with tar utility and chan#e directory to extracted folder

"very LAN driver have a readme file tellin# the way to install that driver

$ Note%& driver will compile only if you have proper compiler' we recommended that you install

#cc compiler durin# installation. (

)o install driver execute these commands as shown here or use readme files

Now we are #ivin# you the location of some important network confi#urations file cram these

files

2et&2resolv3&on

)his file contain information about N* server. you can set N* ip in this files. "ach

nameserver line represents a N* server' and the search line specifies domain names to try if

only the first part of a hostname is used.

2et&2o%pro(e3&on

)he first line assi#ns the e+,, kernel module to the eth, network device. -f the network card is

supported' the module is automatically confi#ured durin# installation or by udzu the first time

the system is booted with the new card.

2et&2/osts

file lists -/ addresses and hostnames that should resolve to the -/ addresses. )he first one listed'

+01.,.,.+' is referred to as the loopback interface and should never be removed. -f some

hostnames can not be resolved by the N* servers' list them with their -/ addresses after the

loopback device.

How to configure IP address in Linux

"very node participatin# in networkin# needs a valid -/ address. 3n Linux command prompt -/

selectin# network configuration sub menu form setup command or directly executin# system-

config-network commands.

4un setup command form root user

#setup

this will launch a new window select network configuration

now a new window will show you all available LAN card select your LAN card $ if you don=t

see any LAN card here mean you don=t have install driver(

Alternately you can use system-config-network command directly to invoke this setup window

#system-config-network

whatever chan#e you made in network confi#uration will not take place till you restart the LAN

card

#service network restart

)he ifconfig command will display the confi#uration of all active "thernet card. !ithout

specifyin# any parameter this command will show all active "thernet card. if you want to see the

confi#uration of any specific "thernet card then use the name of that card as the command line

to check to physical link of "thernet card on command line. !ith this command you can check

on command prompt that cable is plu##ed in LAN card or not.

ping

pin# command is used to check the physical connectivity. -f you #et reply mean everythin# is ok.
