I'm trying to install a DLink DGE-530T gigabit ethernet card on a Dell
Precision 530 running RH9. I tried compiling the drivers supplied on the
DLink CD and the drivers from the DLink website and received tons of include
errors on the compile. DLink apparently does not support the software they
supply. Any ideas on how/where I can get complied drivers for this card or
where the best place would be to get support? Unfortunately I do not have
any of the error messages on hand but I can post them if anyone would think
it would help out. Thanks for any help,
Mike Lawson

Which kernel are you using? I've heard a few problems mentioned with a
2.4.x kernel, but the "skge" and "sk98lin" drivers have been reported as
satisfactory in the 2.6.x kernels.

As for include errors, do you have the required devel packages installed?
By this, I mean (as an example) glibc-devel, and glibc-kernheaders.

While RH9 is marginally supported by fedoralegacy.org, you might want to
consider updating to a more current distribution.

Posting to an active news group might also help. This group has seen just
9 postings since the first of June.  'comp.os.linux.hardware' would work.
