Works?



First I have to say that the machine running Fedora 21 is not connected to network (since Agere Et-131x is the only network card). From my understanding commands like "yum install ..." or "wget ..." will not run on that machine without network connectivity. Therefore I installed a Fedora 21 into a virtualbox on my Win 7 and followed the steps you described there:

It went fine until the "cp et131x.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/updates" command. When reaching that step I did transfer the et131x.ko via USB stick to the target machine. There I did continue with the procedure you described.

When running "modprobe -v et131x" on the target machine it failed with the following message:

sudo modprobe -v et131x
  insmod /lib/modules/3.17.4-301.fc21.i686/updates/et131x.ko
  modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'et131x': Exec format error

To get some more information I then ran "file" and "uname" commands:

file /lib/modules/3.17.4-301.fc21.i686/updates/et131x.ko
/lib/modules/3.17.4-301.fc21.i686/updates/et131x.ko: ELF 32-bit LSB relocatable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), BuildID[sha1]=fa9fe5876be08f1c23a9873e78460196bc67effb, not stripped

uname -a
Linux thetarget.localdomain 3.17.4-301.fc21.i686 #1 SMP Thu Nov 27 19:32:52 UTC 2014 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

On the machine where I built the et131x.ko file I also ran "uname" command:

uname -a
Linux thebuilder.localdomain 3.18.7-200.fc21.i686 #1 SMP Wed Feb 11 22:26:31 UTC 2015 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

I installed it from the same installation media but unfortunately ran "yum update" before building the et131x.ko file. So the kernel versions on the two machines differ. Before following your recipe I started building a custom kernel, so I have some ~/rpmbuild directory, perhaps this does in some way conflict with your description.

Whenever you used "su" command in your description I used "sudo" command, I hope that this will not lead to problems.

I'm not sure if it is valid to build the et131x.ko file on another machine, so I'll try to find an USB-Ethernet-Card to bring the target machine to the network and then again run thoses steps you described directly on the target machine.

Thanks,

Meikel
