INSTALLATION


To use the driver, you need to have available the kernel-headers
somewhere on the disk. You should change the INCLUDEDIR variable
in the Makefile to point to this directory. The default value
has been set for a Debian distribution with the kernel-header
package. The driver works with 2.0 kernels and probably older
ones. It has only been tested with a 2.0.34 kernel.

Also, in the Makefile choose whether you want debugging enabled
(DEBUG=y) or disabled (DEBUG=n).

Then type:

make

Then either install the module by yourself or use the script

me26_load

to load it. To unload it use

me26_unload

See the me26_load(.man or .pod) manpage and me26_unload(.man or .pod) manpage
for more information and how to use the me26 from a user
space program.

Use

make install

to install the module and

make clean

to clean up the directory.

There is a small example of how to use
the driver from user space in read.pl written in Perl.
To use this program you should first run

make read

and it will generate the .ph files needed by read.pl

If you get lost with the ME26_IOC numbers, you can
figure them out with the program kk.c to use it
just type

make kk

and then run it with

kk
