Installer driver

A part si tu veut des effet 3D, une webcam ou du materiel plus exotic il n'y a pas de drivers a installer.

@++

c'est pour mon wifi

Ah ok, oui si ta carte wifi n'est pas reconnu tu dois aller chercher les drivers sur internet. Une fois l'archie télécharger, tu la decompresse et la plupart du temp, l'installation est décrite dans le fichier readme et le fichier install

@++

ok merci je l'avais décomprésser sans prendre le temps de voir qu'il y a un readme je lit tous sa, merci a toi

alors j'ai "lu" le readme mais alors pour moi c'est un peux du chinoi si quelqu'un peut me dire les grandes lignes :

2. Card-Bus bridge and hotplug

2.1 How to enable cardbus bridge

If you are using a SiS 0160 cardbus wireless lan card through a cardbus
bridge, you should enable cardbus bridge before install SiS 0160 driver.
(If you are using a SiS 0160 PCI wireless lan card, just skip this chapter)
There are two ways to enable cardbus bridge (in kernel 2.4.x) which are
discribed in 2.3 and 2.4. You could just choice one.

2.2 How to enable hotplug

In order to support a cardbus wireless lan card, it is not enough to enable
cardbus bridge. You need to enable hotplug, too. Hotplugging happens after
the kernel OS is running. It makes a cardbus card to be enabled and load
the driver of card when a cardbus card is inserted. There are two ways to
enable hotplug service (see 2.3 or 2.4). You could just choice one.

2.3 Kernel setup

When you build kernel, choice some option to enable cardbus and hotplug
support.
(To build kernel, using command "make menuconfig" in text mode or
"make xconfig" in X-window mode, you will need kernel-source to do this)
In config menu, choice the list of options.

General setup->PCI support
->PCI device name database
->Support for hot-pluggable devices
->PCMCIA/CardBus support
General setup->PCMCIA/CardBus support->PCMCIA/CardBus support
->CardBus support

**Note : You should choice these options to ensure SiS 0160 driver work :

Loadable module support->Enable loadable module support
->Set version information on all module symbols
->Kernel module loader

And then build your kernel.

2.4 pcmcia-cs package and hotplug package

2.4.1 pcmcia-cs package

If you don't want to build kernel, you can download pcmcia-cs package and
hotplug package and then install them. (Where to download ? See 1.5)
You should install pcmcia-cs package by sequence in file "PCMCIA-HOWTO"
of pcmcia-cs package. (always,"make clean"->"make config"->"make all"->
"make install")

**Note: If you use pcmcia-cs package to enable cardbus bridge (script
"/etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia"), you should do some setup :
Edit file "/etc/pcmcia.conf" or "/etc/sysconfig/pcmcia" ("/etc/pcmcia.conf"
is the first default), add such issure:

PCMCIA=yes
PCIC=yenta_socket
PCIC_OPTS=
CORE_OPTS=

2.4.2 hotplug package

You can download hotplug package and install item if hotplugging isn't
supported in your kernel. (Where to download ? See 1.5)
You should install hotplug package by sequence in file "README" of hotplug
package.

**Note: This package only support kernel 2.4.2 and later.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. Compilation and installation

3.1 Prerequisites and kernel setup

You should need kernel 2.4.0 and later.
You should need kernel source in directory "/usr/src/linux-x.x.x"

3.2 Installation

Using command "Install" to install SiS 0160 driver.

(i) Input kernel source directory path :
(If the default path is wrong, input your currect path and press enter)

Linux kernel source directory /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-3:/usr/src/linux-xxx

(ii) Input kernel module directory path :
(If the default path is current, just press enter)

Module install directory /lib/modules/2.4.18-3:

(iii) Complete

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

4. Network setup

You can use command "ifconfig", "netconf", "netconfig" to config your
network ip, network mask, and gateway address.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

5. Utility usage

5.1 Site Survey

You can scan other basic service set in Site Survey page. The average time
of scanning is 3 seconds. In order to connect to a basic service set, click
connect button or double click site survey result. If the mode is
infrastructure, you should choice authentication mode (open system or share
key). If the WEP keys is "Yes", you should set WEP keys in Network
Configuration page.

5.2 Network Configuration

5.2.1 Infrastructure network

If you want to connect to a access point, set "Operation mode" to be
"infrastructure". You should also set "Authentication mode" and
"Authentication setting". If the WEP is enabled, you should set
WEP keys by button "WEP keys".
If the option "Any SSID, Auto Channel" in "Connect style" is set, driver
will find the first infrastructure network to join. Else if you choice
"By User Setting", driver will find a infrastructure network which SSID
equal to your setting.

5.2.2 Ad-hoc network

The Ad-hoc setting is almost the same as infrastructure network but it
doesn't need to set "Authentication mode". If the option "Any SSID, Auto
Channel" is set, driver will find a ad-hoc network (in site survey list)
to join. If you choic "By User Setting", driver will find a ad-hoc network
which SSID equal to your setting (in site survey list).
You can also create a new ad-hoc network by your setting here.

5.3 Advance setting

5.3.1 Threshold Setting

5.3.1.1 RTS/CTS Threshold

If packet length is larger then RTS/CTS threshold, RTS/CTS mechanism
will be enabled. Before sending this packet, hardware first transmits RTS
(Request-To-Send) packet and wait for a CTS (Clear-To-Send) packet.

5.3.1.2 Fragmentation Threshold

If packet length is larger then fragmentation threshold, driver will
separate this packet into serval fragment according to the fragmentation
threshold. Every fragment is equal to or less then fragmentation threshold.

5.3.2 Ad-hoc Property Setting

In Ad-hoc network, every station try to transmit a "Beacon Frame" in a
beacon interval for synchronization. When you choice a Ad-hoc network to
join, the beacon interval must be the same as the Ad-hoc network. If you
will create a new Ad-hoc network, you can adjust this value here.

5.3.3 SiS Private Key Setting

If you want to connect to a network and use different WEP key between
different members of this network, you can use this page.

5.3.4 Retry Limit Setting

You can set short retry limit count and long retry limit count here. Short
retry count is used when packet length is less than RTS/CTS threshold. Long
retry count is used when packet length is larger then RTS/CTS threshold.

5.3.5 Tx Power Level Setting

You can set transmit power level here. Larger power results in much better
signal strength but costs much power.
