I have been asked to install Suse 9.1 Pro on a Dell Optiplex SX280. The OS goes on fine, but the NIC isn't detected (it's a Broadcom NetXtreme 5700 built-in). I went to Broadcom's website and got the source rpm for the linux driver for this card, but I'm getting an error when I try to run rpmbuild.
The command I'm running is
rpmbuid -bb /usr/src/package/SOURCE/bcm5700.spec
The script runs for several lines (making temp dirs and such) then gets to this line:
make -C SUBDIRS=/usr/src/packages/BUILD/bcm5700-7.3.5 module
make: *** SUBDIRS=/usr/src/packages/BUILD/bcm5700-7.3.5: No such file or directory. Stop
I don't know if it's trying to create a directory called module in the bcm5700-7.3.5 directory, or if its trying to put a space in the directory name, or what. The directory bcm5700-7.3.5 does exist.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
(As an aside, why didn't Suse include the make routine in their 9.1 build? I had to download and install it...)
