The problem of not being able to compile the pearl module is probably because of some of the development modules not being installed. The error messages point you to what you are missing.
>From the lspci output, a bit more research is going to be needed before we can make your NIC work. When you get a message like "Ethernet Contoller: Intel Corp: Unknown device 1026", it indicates that the NIC is not in the hardware database that lspci is using. Try running "lspci -v" and posting the section for the NIC. Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!
