本本上的BROADCOM440X网卡的安装方法！

hades

我本人的本本的网卡就是BROADCOM的440X，安装RH9的时候认不到，只能手动安装，先到http://www.broadcom.com/ 下载最新的440X的驱动，下载解压后有有两个包，RPM和TAR的，我是用TAR安装的，在README里是这样说的：

uilding Driver From TAR File
=============================

The following are general guidelines for installing the driver. Refer to
DISTRIB.TXT for additional installation notes for various Linux distributions.

1. Create a directory and extract the files:

   tar xvzf bcm4400-<version>.tar.gz

2. Build the driver bcm4400.o as a loadable module for the running kernel:

   cd src
   make

3. Test the driver by loading it:

   insmod bcm4400.o

4. Install the driver and man page:

   make install

See RPM instructions above for the location of the installed driver.

5. To configure network protocol and address, refer to various Linux
documentations.

我曾以普通身体进入RH，然后获得ROOT权力，但在3. Test the driver by loading it:

   insmod bcm4400.o
时出错，本想用：/sbin/ insmod bcm4400.o 命令再试，但想想还是以ROOT身体进入更好，所以我建议用ROOT身体进入RH安装，这样会更好些，安装方法已经在上面了，大家照着做就行了，安装完成后就可以配置你的网卡了，在ETHERNET里你会看到这个BROADCOM440X的，祝好运！

www.broadcom.com只有4401的驱动，可以通用吗?

另外最好将安装程序COPY到LINUX下的任何目录，在MOUNT过来的M下的目录里安装，有时会出错的，还有就是楼上说的，你没安装源代码！

redhat9下
只有tar包，安装说明如下

Building Driver From TAR File
=============================

1. Create a directory and extract the files:

   tar xvzf bcm4400-<version>.tar.gz

2. Build the driver bcm4400.o as a loadable module for the running kernel:

   cd src
   make

3. Test the driver by loading it:

   insmod bcm4400.o

4. Install the driver and man page:

   make install

其中第2步是什么意思？我怎么都找不到bcm4400.o这个文件呀！还有make后面怎么什么都没跟呀？大侠们帮帮我
