D-link DFE-538TX drivers won't compile

bgeorge · 09-01-2010, 02:47 PM

Hello everyone,

I recently purchased a D-link DFE-538TX for my Untangle box, in hopes of creating a transparent firewall.

I have installed the card into my box, but Untangle does not recognize it.

I have used this link forums.untangle.com/hardware/1233-how-install-nic-driver.html[/url] to install the necessary dependencies for compiling a new kernel module.

All of the dependencies have been installed successfully however, when i try to compile the drivers using the tar ball included in the installation CD i get the following errors:

/tmp/src # make install [root @ hostname]
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.26-2-untangle-686/build SUBDIRS=/tmp/src modules

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Start over, those instructions are almost two years old.

Look here:

http://wiki.untangle.com/index.php/B...Kernel_Modules

But seriously, start over first.

bgeorge · 09-01-2010, 06:32 PM

Hello mrunkel,

By start over do you mean reinstall Untangle?

I have followed the documentation on the Wiki link you provided, however i still revive the exact same errors while trying to compile the drivers.

I also remember executing this command "ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r` /usr/src/linux" which I found on another form for compiling drivers. Do you think this could be the reason why i am getting the same errors after installing the new linux headers from the Wiki?

bgeorge · 09-02-2010, 01:22 PM

So i have reinstalled untangle, and installed the kernel development package and headers as per the Wiki documentation.

Now when i try to create the kernel module i receive the following error:

/tmp/src # make install [root @ hostname]
Makefile:16: *** Linux kernel source not found. Stop.

proactivens · 09-02-2010, 02:53 PM

try

make KSRC=/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.26-2-untangle-686 TARGET=x86

You may not need the TARGET=x86 part.

bgeorge · 09-02-2010, 03:12 PM

using your command to point the make file to my kernel directory worked, however I am reviving the same errors as I did before i reinstalled. Here are the errors:

I have tried it with and without the TARGET=x86.

Any ideas?

proactivens · 09-02-2010, 03:22 PM

according the the Dlink site, the drivers the realtek R8139 drivers. Going to realtek's site, they dont even have drivers for linux anymore, since the driver was added to source in 2007.

http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/...TL8139B%28L%29

I think the driver your trying is for an old kernel version 2.4 and has not been ported to 2.6, so I doubt you will have any luck.

sky-knight · 09-02-2010, 03:24 PM

All this to get a VIA based nic to work? I'd just toss this and go get an intel. You have a proper build environment, something is up with the way the driver is written. Probably a language issue.

Jim, that code he's pasting says rhine, that's VIA's 10/100 not realtek.

proactivens · 09-02-2010, 03:32 PM

from the dlink website under the support resources tab:
Drivers
Download Version Operating System(OS) Date
[download Drivers] 3.00 Vista 32, Vista 64 3/29/2007
1. The new driver is not backward compatible with H/W v.Ax
[download Drivers] Linux 10/15/2004
¤ Uses Realtek 8139 chipset

http://www.dlink.ca/products/?pid=612

So either dlink did an undocumented revision, the driver is completely wrong, or the model listed in the post is wrong.

bgeorge · 09-02-2010, 03:51 PM

the model number i posted, DFE-538TX is correct. I also saw on the D-link website that they say it uses the Realtek 8139 chipset.

The drivers i am trying to compile are from the CD that came with the NIC.

I have also tried using the drivers on D-links website, however they error out as well.
