Hi all

I have a Universal PCI RS-232 card and I need to install drivers for it.

I have the drivers CD, Is there anyway I can install it from add/remove program application. It does not give me the option to browse for the drivers.

Secondly, I have tried to install it from the terminal and it displays the following output.

[lab@lab /]$ ls
bin cgroup etc lib media opt root sbin srv temp usr
boot dev home lost+found mnt proc run selinux sys tmp var
[lab@lab /]$ cd temp/
[lab@lab temp]$ ls
snx snx_V1.3.3.0.tar.gz snx_Ver1-2-0-0
[lab@lab temp]$ cd snx
[lab@lab snx]$ ls
driver Makefile README snxdump snxmknod snxterm
[lab@lab snx]$ ./configure
bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
[lab@lab snx]$ make
cd driver;\
make
make[1]: Entering directory `/temp/snx/driver'
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.40.4-5.fc15.i686/build SUBDIRS=/temp/snx/driver modules
make: Entering an unknown directory
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.40.4-5.fc15.i686/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: Leaving an unknown directory
make[1]: *** [modules] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/temp/snx/driver'
make: *** [driver_make] Error 2
[lab@lab snx]$

It displays the same output, even when I log in as root.

Help. I need to install this drivers.

First, make sure the drivers are not already loaded. run lspci -v

also run lsmod

lastly, are you running 32 or 64bit Fedora?

Thiis is the output of lspci -v command, the PCI card is listed, does that mean there are arleady drivers available for the card?
I am running a 32 bit

There appear to be no drivers installed for the controller, but the addresses are there, however.

No. lspci works quite independently of device drivers, it just compares PCI IDs to a big text file. This is what makes it a good tool for tracking down what drivers you need...
