From SubfireWiki
Installing the support software
- Kudzu will find this card and configure it
- Some additional setup is still required:
- Create a 'downloaded_drivers' folder and a 'drivers' folder in hwtester's home
- Open the drivers folder
- Insert the Sealevel driver CD
- Browse to /mnt/cdrom/Software/SeaCOM/Other/Linux
- Double click on pci_inst.tar.gz
- Drag pci_inst to the drivers folder
- Drag pci_inst.tar.gz to the downloaded_drivers folder
Setting up the card
- To manually load the driver, open a terminal and run these commands
- $ cd drivers/pci_inst/
- [hwtester@csi-lear-1 pci_inst]$ su -c './setserial_pci.pl 4'
- To automatically load the driver, modify /etc/rc.local
- Add "/home/hwtester/drivers/pci_inst/setserial_pci.pl 4" somewhere before the last line
Testing the card
- Run the serial_test program in csiproject/src
- This can only be done after our software has been installed.
