We will actually be releasing an updated version of Bare Metal fairly soon that has updated drivers. That may be easier for you than compiling your own. -John

info on compile and install of driver

Hi I got the driver down from the broadcom website for linux. since there is no compiler within the environment (I presume since MAKE dosn't work) I'll compile on another linux box and copy the .o or .o.ko file to the system manually the instructions to compile the driver are bellow. what is the kernel versin I need to use? (or is it easier for you to compile the file for me and i'll just install it.)

Building Driver From TAR File

The following are general guidelines for installing the driver. 1. Create a directory and extract the files: tar xvzf tg3-.tar.gz 2. Build the driver tg3.o (or tg3.ko) as a loadable module for the running kernel: cd src make The driver will be compiled for the running kernel by default. To build the driver for a kernel different than the running one, specify the kernel by defining it in KVER: make KVER= where in the form of 2.x.y-z is the version of another kernel that is installed on the system. 3. Test the driver by loading it: insmod tg3.o or insmod tg3.ko (on 2.6.x kernels) or insmod tg3 4. Install the driver: make install Peter

We're working on a possible solution that will allow you to install a module driver. 1. use F5 to open an xterm 2. baremetal will execute init.sh from /cache/config if the file exists during startup 3. don't forget to make init.sh executable with chmod 755 init.sh Using this method should allow you to load the module driver.

Is there a way for us, the end users, to be able to install drivers for out HardWare into the baremetel version? I Presume you can just use normal Linux drivers for your system?
