Using the U132 and U142 Card Reader in LINUX
U132 External Kernel Modules
This latest version of the linux driver for the U132 and U142 needs to be built from the source tar ball so that the modules created will match your current kernel.
You will need at least part of the kernel source tree that matches your current kernel, installed, and of course various compiler tools.
Distributions Supported
It should support any distribution based on linux kernels 2.6.15+ that allows you to compile kernel modules.
Installation Instructions
Just do:
cd [any working directory anywhere on your system that has enough space]
wget http://www.elandigitalsystems.com/eng/drivers/u132/u132-linux-driver.tar.gz
cd u132-driver-1.4
make
make install
then just insert the U132 or U142.
The modules have been tested against kernels 2.6.15 to 2.6.20
Cards which are only compatible with the U142 and not the U132 unfortunately will not be compatible with the linux driver. Please see our compatibility list.
