Packaging
The Linux TG3 driver is released in the following packaging formats (file names):
• Source RPM (tg3-version.3dkms.src.rpm)
• Supplemental (tg3_sup-version.tar.gz)
• Compressed tar (tg3-version.tar.gz)
Identical source files to build the driver are included in both RPM and TAR source packages. The tar file contains
additional utilities such as patches and driver disk images for network installation.
