Hi,

I'm installing the linux drivers.

I've worked through a few issues and 'make' now compiles without any errors.

I'm concerned about running 'make install' as root, as 'make --dry-run install' shows the script would end up removing/overwriting a large number of existing .ko files that are part of the base system.

- lines 87 to 93 as an example

Why is it doing this?

I'd hoped that just a handful of drivers and associated files would need to be compiled/installed.

Thanks,

System:
TBS 6983 PCIe
SuSE 13.1, x86_64
3.11.10-29-desktop

Hi intracube

The driver contain a lot of files and maybe have compatiable issue so this is why remove some and install some new file.
This is let to it work stable.

Thanks

Kind Regards

Thanks steven,

I wrote a script to only install the new modules if they didn't overwrite existing files. But, it looks like the kernel doesn't like it when you mix them from different sources...

In the end I just let the original TBS install script do its thing.

The card is now working fine.

Hi can anybody give me instruction on how to install drivers for TBS 9683 on ubunu please?
