RedHat Linux 6.2/7.0 RPM Drivers for
ISI5634PCI-4/8 Server Cards
This installation procedure applies only to RedHat Linux versions 6.2
and 7.0. The standard ISI5634PCI Linux installation procedure (Linux
Driver for Multi-Tech ISI Server Cards (for PCI and ISA busses)) can
still be used for any Linux operating system of the correct kernel level
(including RedHat Linux versions 6.2 and 7.0, if so desired). Note that
RedHat Linux versions 6.2 and 7.0 both use the Linux 2.2 level kernel.
LINUX-RPM: Pre-Installation Issues
The 'make' utility, GNU C compiler, and the kernel sources need to be
installed on your system. If any of these are missing, the compilation
will fail. Most later Linux OSs install these elements automatically .
LINUX-RPM: Copying the driver from the media
The RedHat Linux RPM drivers are on the ISI-Family Installation CD-
ROM in separate directories, ServCard/Drivers/Linux/RPMS/70RPM for
version 7.0 and ServCard/Drivers/Linux/RPMS/62RPM for version 6.2.
In some cases, users may download RPM drivers from the MultiTech
web site onto diskette (in ext2 format). We present instructions for
both situations below.
LINUX-RPM: Copying the driver from CD-ROM
1. Mount the CD-ROM using this command:
mount -r /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
2. Change directory
cd /mnt/cdrom
