I just installed RedHat Linux 7.2 on my Compaq 1700XL Laptop. It has the
CONEXANT NIC in it that doesn't work. I tried downloading the RPM file off
of your web site using another computer and then copied it to the Linux
machine. I downloaded the rpm file to a folder I created called Downloads. I
then switched to the Downloads folder and ran rpm -I
netdrivers-3.1-1.src.rpm. I then switched over to /usr/src/redhat as per
your instructions. I then ran rpm -bb SPECS/netdrivers.spec and it gave me
an error "SPECS/netdrivers.spec: No such file or directory" So what do I do
to install the drivers for this NIC? I don't have internet access on the
Linux Laptop because I can't get the modem or the NIC to work. Thanks for
the help!
 
Justin
