So I'm installing Trixbox Ce. Now I need to install the drivers for the on board ethernet. but to compile the drivers I need the kernel source. To get the kernel source I need internet. To get the internet working I need the ethernet to be working. Rince, repeat, go mad.

How do I download the kernel-devel package an install it with out being online at the time?

Ok so I found the file I think :http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5...evel-2.6.18-128.1.10.el5.centos.plus.i686.rpm

now just to download and install.

Does that mean that its actually a Attansic nic? Man it sux being a noob sometimes...

Hmm if you move the s to the front of the word.... Attansic = Sattanic ? Explains why there are no drivers..

Ok I found this but its a bit over my head...

I'll give it a go anyhow. Will it work the same for Ubuntu and CentOS?
 
back to square 1.

Where exactly can I find the kernel-devel file for Centos 5.3 2.6.18-128.1.10.e15?
 
Sorry about that, I thought we were talking Ubuntu here, refreshing to find another distro mentioned.
:o

It should be in the repositories, search for devel or dev.

http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/I_need_the_Kernel_Source

To download it from another PC, get your kernel version:
uname -a

Write this down, go to this link:
http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/centosplus/i386/RPMS/
and search for the appropriate kernel-devel to match your kernel and you will find that this is the one you need:
http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5...evel-2.6.18-128.1.10.el5.centos.plus.i686.rpm

The solution and how to install the driver:

http://rpm.pbone.net/ is a great resource for searching for rpm files.

once you have found the rpm you are looking for, you can install it with rpm -Uvh /path/to/rpm. You can also use rpm -ivh /path/to/file.-U being upgrade and -i being install.

if CentOS uses yum, you can also do yum localinstall --nogpgcheck /path/to/rpm
