= 瞭解 Etherboot 如何加入新的網路卡驅動程式 =
== STEP 1: 從 Etherboot 原始碼開始 ==
 * 源起:
   * 目前有很多新的網路卡雖然有支援 PXE 但是卻沒有正式被 PXELinux 支援. 所以必須要找到可以自行加入新網路卡的方法.
 * 作法:
   * 測試環境: Debian Etch 4.0r1
   * 下載 git 版本控制軟體
{{{
# apt-get install git cogito git-core
}}}
     * 註：Ubuntu 只要安裝 git-core 即可。
{{{
# apt-get install git-core
}}}
   * 修改 git 預設對應
{{{
# update-alternative --config git
There are 2 alternatives which provide `git'.

  Selection    Alternative
-----------------------------------------------
 +        1    /usr/bin/git.transition
*         2    /usr/bin/git-scm

Press enter to keep the default[*], or type selection number: 2
}}}
     * 如果不修改預設 git 對應為 git-scm 會出現以下錯誤訊息
{{{
# git clone git://git.etherboot.org/scm/gpxe.git

git, the filemanager with GNU Interactive Tools, is now called gitfm.

If you are looking for git, Linus Torvald's content tracker, install
the cogito and git-core packages and see README.Debian and git(7).

This transition script will be removed in the debian stable
release after etch.

If you wish to complete the transition early, install git-core
and use (as root):
 update-alternatives --config git

Press RETURN to run gitfm

/usr/bin/gitfm: fatal error: `chdir' failed: permission denied.
}}}
     * 註: Ubuntu 不用做更新
{{{
# update-alternatives --config git

There is only 1 program which provides git
(/usr/bin/git-scm). Nothing to configure.
}}}
   * 下載 Etherboot 最新版原始碼
{{{
# git clone git://git.etherboot.org/scm/gpxe.git
}}}
   * 從 Etherboot 原始碼中的 src/drivers/net/sis900.c 開始看
{{{
# cd gpxe
~/gpxe# cd src/drivers/net/
~/gpxe/src/drivers/net/# ls sis900*
sis900.c   sis900.h
}}}

== STEP 2: 比較與 Linux Kernel 原始碼的差異 ==

 * 下載 Linux Kernel 原始碼
   * 首先請確定 /etc/apt/source.list 裡有 deb src 的來源
{{{
# apt-get source linux-image-`uname -r`
}}}
 * 找尋 sis900.c 跟 sis900.h 的檔案位置
{{{
# find . -name "sis900*"
}}}
 * [結果] 請 svn co -r 2 http://trac.nchc.org.tw/svn/grid 進行後續比較工作。
