Installation guide

Linux

Loading the

Module

Manually

To load the module manually, perform the following procedure:

1. Enter modprobe sk98lin.

2. If an AT-2971 or AT-2916 adapter is installed in your computer and

you have a /proc file system, execute the command:

# ls /proc/net/sk98lin/

This should produce an output containing a line with the following

format:

eth0 eth1 ...

which indicates that your adapter has been found and initialized.

Unloading the

Module

To stop and unload the driver modules, perform the following

procedure:

1. Execute the command ifconfig YOUR_DEVICE down.

# ifconfig eth0 down

# ifconfig eth1 down

2. Execute the command rmmod sk98lin.

Driver

Parameters

When loading the driver as a kernel module, additional parameters can

be passed to the driver for configuration.

Those parameters can be passed in two ways:

❑ You can either state them on the modprobe command line

❑ You can set them in the file /etc/modules.conf (or old name:

/etc/conf.modules), in order to force the kernel module loader to

pass them to the driver at load-time
