... the link on the site to the SRPMīs is bogus, and the compilation of the module by hand from his source is a bit obscure. So for the record, here is how I finally managed to compile for a non-cardbus card (all on one line): gcc -DMODULE -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c rtl8139.c -I/usr/src/linux/include -include /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h and for the pci-scan module: cc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -DEXPORT_SYMTAB -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c pci-scan.c -I/usr/src/linux/include -include /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h Now the insmod on the pci-scan works, but fails on the rtl8139.o ...any thoughts? -- john in sydney Mandrake Linux 9.1, Kernel version: 2.4.21-0.18mdk OpenPGP key available on www.keyserver.net 1024D/3E4A902F B38A AB0F 8658 D9E1 4900 3050 08FA D4FA 3E4A 902F
