Module Installation Script
6.3 Module Installation Script
The PCI-bus architecture allows automatic detection of PCI
devices right after these are installed and device nodes are cre-
ated.
The following commands are necessary:
“insmod p9111”
“grep'p9111' /proc/devices”
“mknod /dev/PCI9111W0 c 254 0”
“mknod /dev/PCI9111W1 c 254 1”…
You can do these commands manually or use the provided instal-
lation scripts. The installation script is located at pci-dask_xxx/driv-
ers.
Using the pcidask.conf configuration file, the installation script
inserts all previously configured device modules and the memory
management module, if required. The script then makes device
nodes according to the number of cards. To install, execute this
script:
<InstallDir>/pci-dask_xxx/drivers/dask_inst.pl
By default, the installation script reads the configuration file in the
current directory. You may specify the work directory for the PCIS-
DASK/X to install script from the command argument. For exam-
ple, if the pcis-dask/x had been installed in /usr/local/pdask, you
may install the driver using the following command:
dask_inst.pl /usr/local/pdask
The installation script reads the related configuration file by its
argument and inserts the modules needed by the configured
devices. This may be useful if the installation needs to be exe-
cuted by init after system starts up.
For example, if you install the PCIS-DASK/X in the /usr/pdask
directory and the system needs to insert the modules automati-
cally. You may add the following command in the /etc/inittab, then
the init process inserts the modules automatically.

usr/pdask "Insert ADLINK modules"
