解决redhat advance server 3.0安装via vt6102 rhine-ii型网卡速度慢问题

在安装redhat时，总遇到rhine网卡速度慢的问题。已经解决过多次，但每次不写记录，最后还要再找很长时间

，今天再次解决，不得不记下。

网卡型号：via vt6104 rhine-ii
操作系统：redhat AS 3.0(Taroon)

安装后，可自动发现网卡，但是速度奇慢无比。ftp只能达到20kb.不能忍受之，更新驱动。

从via_amd光盘找到via rhine网卡的linux的驱动rhinefet-4.17.tar.gz包。
上传到rhas3服务器/tmp/lan目录下
tar zxvf rhinefet-4.17.tar.gz
cd rhinefet-4.17.tar.gz

当然，此前由于网上错误教程的指导，曾把gcc的版本更换，要先检查gcc版本
gcc -v
确定是系统要求的gcc 3.2.3后，编译

make install
编译时出现冲突，不能成功。

不怕，仔细看一下就行了，是说/usr/src/linux-2.4/include/irda/irda.h中的

有两个冲突项ASSERT 与 LINK_STATUS，将两段注释了，编译即可通过。
#define ASSERT(expr, func) /
if (!(expr)) do { /
 func } while (0)

typedef enum {
 STATUS_OK,
 STATUS_ABORTED,
 STATUS_NO_ACTIVITY,
 STATUS_NOISY,
 STATUS_REMOTE,
} LINK_STATUS;

insmod rhinefet
shutdown -r now
之后网络速度变快。

一定要记得把/usr/src/linux-2.4/include/irda/irda.h中两段注释还原啊。

对了，由于原来的驱动程序名称为via-rhine.o
/etc/modules.conf中eth0对应的模块名也叫via-rhine
vi /etc/modules.conf
手工将
eth0 via-rhine
改为
eth0 rhinefet
即可实现自动启动了。

如果不能启动，请使用ins rhinefet及lsmod/depmod/modprobe解决问题。
