Greetings,
I recently bought a new system, one of those barebones jobs. It came with a
10/100 NIC integrated into the motherboard. Davicom dm9102. The motherboard
actually came with linux sound and nic drivers. But, I can't seem to compile
the NIC driver.

In the driver itself, it lists a whole lot of includes such as
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/kernel.h>
#include <linux/sched.h>
.
.
When I try to compile it, it says it can't find the include files. I am
compiling from the directory in which the driver is. I know the files it is
looking for are in /usr/src/linux/include/linux/* but I don't know how to
convey that to the driver.

Can anyone help me? This is my first module compile. I have compiled little
things before. I really want to get this going because this is the first
time I have ever had two computers. A friend gave me a hub and I just gotta
get it going.

Thanks in advance

Eric not so newbie, but still a little green.

gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c tulip.c `[ -f
/usr/include/linux/modversions.h ] && echo -DMODVERSIONS`

The section that says "-I/usr/src/linux/net/inet" should be the path to
the file to be compiled.

The "-f /usr/include/linux/modversions.h" section is where you would
where you set the path to the include files.

The above command is for a tulip module.

There are two ways that you can get around this. . .
1) you can copy the includes to the source directory of the driver.
2) you can edit the Makefile and add '-I /usr/src/linux/include/linux/'
at the end of the line that has similar entries (usually "-I.
-I..") in it. I recomend that you save the original Makefile as
Makefile.old, or some such in case you make a mistake here. This will
point the compiler to that directory to look for include files.

The second option is the recomended method. . .
