Re: [tlug] making make?

Hi everyone,

I've just installed the linux distro of Checkpoint firewall on a Dell
server, but it didn't recognize the Intel quad ethernet cards. The
kernel is 2.4.9-42cpsmp, and lsmod shows e1000.5.2.16 so it was able to
detect the onboard gigabit ethernet. However when I tried to compile the
driver that came with the quad cards, there was no make, also no
rpmbuild command. Quick question- how does one go about making make?
Maybe from rpm?
Confused,

I'm not sure, but if the driver came with the card I'd suspect that it's in binary format (already compiled). Most manufactures that distribute linux drivers do this, but I'm not sure how to install them.
