(EN) log of building nxge driver(kernel module) on Debian Linux 4.0r3

It's just log of building nxge ( 1027A-Z 10Gbit Ethernet Adapter ) on Debian Linux 4.0r3 (AMD64).
Sorry, I had not test to recognize 10Gbit Ethernet by Debian Linux, because I have no card to test.

Driver source code can be downloaded at http://www.sun.com/download/products.xml?id=4653d592 .

To build nxge driver, linux-headers is required.

# apt-get install linux-headers-2.6-amd64

Makefile is in sun_10_Gigabit_Ethernet_driver_Linux_Src_update_2.zip, but does not use this file.
The way to build is as follows.

# cd 
# mkdir nxge
# cd nxge
# unzip ../ sun_10_Gigabit_Ethernet_driver_Linux_Src_update_2.zip
# make
# make -C /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.18-6-amd64 SUBDIRS=`pwd` modules
