OT: linux question

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Tim,

Try to download http://qurl.tk/jv (tab ball) or use our own (whichever is newer) and un-tar the file. Open  terminal and use 'cd' to navigate to .../rr268x-linux-src-v1.1/product/rr2680/linux/. Type "make install" and wait what happens. If it does't work, you are probably missing some libraries and don't need to keep trying. Ask the manufacturer for the correct source for your Linux version.

Bought a HighPoint 2680 SATA card because they claimed Debian compatibility. But their stock drivers are so old, I can't even find the distribution they match. They also have the source code so you can compile a new kernel to support the card. I tried, but being a Linux newbie, failed in all attempts. Can't even get the 'tree' downloaded, whatever that is!
