Building the Driver From a TAR File
1 create a directory and extract the files:
tar xvzf bcm5700-[version].tar.gz
2 change directory to src directory.
3 build the driver bcm5700.o as a loadable module for both uniprocessor and multiprocessor systems:
make
4 test the driver by loading it:
insmod bcm5700.o
5 install the driver in /lib/modules/[kernel_version]/net:
install -m 644 bcm5700.o /lib/modules/[kernel_version]/net
note that a newly installed red hat 7 enterprise kernel needs to be recompiled to regenerate versioned symbols before any newly compiled driver can load.
