Title: VIA Rhine III (VT6105) driver install for SME 5.6
Post by: kearnsy on May 05, 2004, 08:49:31 AM
Hi All,

I have a EPIA CL-10000 motherboard that has a Rhine II and Rhine III network card embedded on the board.

When installing 5.6 on the machine, SME correctly finds the driver for the Rhine II card...However the Rhine III fails to detect.

I subsequently downloaded the Linux drivers from this website and tried installing after the original setup.

http://downloads.viaarena.com/drivers/LAN/VT6105_VT6105L_VT6105LOMv20MVIA.zip

And then followed the readme for a linux install. However when I try to compile the source files I get this message;
./Makefile: DEBUG: command not found
./Makefile: VMNS: command not found
./Makefile: OBJS: command not found
./Makefile: SRC: command not found
./Makefile: TARGET: command not found
./Makefile: shell: command not found
./Makefile: shell: command not found

./Makefile: shell: command not found
./Makefile: KSP: command not found
./Makefile: line 18: syntax error near unexpected token ($(VMNS),1)'
./Makefile: line 18: ifeq ($(VMNS),1)'

Does anyone have any experience with SME and this motherboard (more specifically the Rhine III NIC)?

Thanks
Damien

Try entering just Makefile without the ./

Good luck

I installed 5.6 on a CL a month ago. You do not have to build any drivers.

If I remember correctly - just choose the same driver.

EthernetAssign=normal
EthernetDriver1=via-rhine
EthernetDriver2=via-rhine

Hi Duncan,

The 5.6 installation picks up the first onboard card with Rhine II chipset ok, however the Rhine III chipset on the other onboard card comes up with "unknown driver".

So I simply use the same driver for both cards and it should work, hey?

Thanks
Damien

During the setup process select via-rhine under "Manually select driver".

Worked for me.
