I just bought a Netgear FA311 & a D-Link DFE-530TX+ for my 2
computer home network. I'm having trouble compiling both drivers. When i compile with:

gcc -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O -m486 -c fa311.c

i get a whole bunch of error messages including:
fa311.c:408: field `stats' has incomplete type
fa311.c: In function `fa311_probe':
fa311.c:474: warning: passing arg 1 of `init_etherdev_Rf09eee63' from incompatible pointer typefa311.c:474: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type
fa311.c:497: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type

And the error list just goes on about 30 lines...the same thing happens when i try and compile the rtl8139.c driver for my D-Link NIC too. I also compiled pci-scan.c with
gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -O6 -c pci-scan.c
and it compiled fine, but when i did a
depmod -a
it outputs:
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.1/kernel/drivers/pci-scan.o

if i type modprobe pci-scan, it outputs:
/lib/modules/2.4.1/kernel/drivers/pci-scan.o: unresolved symbol pci_write_config_byte
/lib/modules/2.4.1/kernel/drivers/pci-scan.o: unresolved symbol pci_find_class

Well, I'm using RedHat 6.1 with kernel 2.4.1 and i don't know if that's the problem. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

i had the same error with RH 7, to fix it i had to run modprobe on fa311. Then I ran netconfig and that seemed to take care of the unresolved symbol issue. See if that helps.

how am i supose to modprobe fa311 if it doesn't compile?
