Network card from Trendnet not detected, comes with driver

YAOMTC · July 16, 2009, 5:02pm

I recently purchased a new network card from Trendnet, the TE100-PCIWN, and on the driver disc it came with are two drivers for Linux. There is one folder at /LINUX/2.2.X and another at /LINUX/2.4.X. I assume this is referring to the version of the kernel. (I’m using 2.6.27.) The 2.2.X folder contains 4 files: COPYING.TXT (the GFDL), kern_compat.h, Makefile, and TE100.c. The 2.4.X folder has Makefile and TE100.c. What do I do with these files? Is 2.4.X too old?

(If it helps, you can view the drivers here.)

If you download the file named drivier_utility_te100-pcifc(v1.0r).zip
from the web site you list, the Linux driver now supports 2.6 kernels

at least the txt file says it does.

Wrong model. Mine’s the TE100-PCIWN, which doesn’t have 2.6 support.

Sorry. I downloaded the correct one this time. From reading TE100.c,
it looks as if the driver rtl8139 should handle this device. I also
see that Jeff Garzik did the port to the TE100, and I’m sure that he
would have made a 2.6 port.

If you do the command ‘/sbin/lspci -nnv’, what does the section that
describes the TE100 say? I’m interested in the PCI ID’s.

Oddly, I don’t see the TE-100 showing up here. Shouldn’t it?

(Also, for each line that isn’t the start of a section or a break, a bunch of spaces are added to the end until the column where the header ends. I had to remove those spaces to meet the character limit. I can’t see how those spaces could be useful.)[/size][/size][/size][/size][/size][/size][/size][/size][/size][/size][/size][/size][/size][/size][/size][/size][/size][/size][/size][/size][/size][/size][/size][/size][/size][/size]

This is the only Ethernet device shown, which is NOT made by
Trendnet. If your TE100 is in the computer, then it is not functioning
or it needs replugging. Obviously, if the device is not found in a PCI
scan, it will not work.
