Installing the source RPM package
To install the source RPM package:
1. Install the source RPM package:
rpm -ivh bcm5700-<version>.src.rpm
2. Change the directory to the RPM path and build the binary driver for
your kernel:
cd /usr/src/{redhat,OpenLinux,turbo,packages,rpm ..}
rpm -bb SPECS/bcm5700.spec or rpmbuild -bb SPECS/
bcm5700.spec
The RPM path is different for different Linux distributions.
3. Install the newly built package (driver and man page):
rpm -ivh RPMS/i386/bcm5700-<version>.i386.rpm
You need the force option when installing the driver on some
distributions that has an older version of the driver.
