Arduino enc28j60 ethernet shield on ubuntu

From Cryptolife

I recently bought a enc28j60 ethernet shield for Arduino. At the beginning I had some problems to comunicate to the shield via tcp because the enc28j60 module isn't supported by the original Arduino Ethernet libraries. Recently I came across a solution which works, and i'd like to share with everyone. Thanks toJonathan Oxer for the etherShield library.

2) Arduino software installation. http://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software

 wget http://arduino.googlecode.com/files/arduino-0018.tgz
 tar xvfz arduino-0018.tgz
 rm -rf arduino-0018/libraries/Ethernet/
 cd arduino-0018/libraries/

3) EtherShield library installation.

git clone http://github.com/jonoxer/etherShield.git

check the new library.
