Hi,
I have a via rhine network card and I found its source driver on the site scyld.com...I've installed the kernel source (needed to compile the driver) and then I've typed the following command (written at the bottom of the via-rhine.c file):

make KERNVER=`uname -r` via-rhine.o

this command exit with some errors, here they are:

cc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -I/lib/modules/2.6.9-1.667/build/include/ -pipe -fno-strength-reduce -DMODVERSIONS -c -o via-rhine.o via-rhine.c

can someone help me to solve the problem???

Thanks a lot

Why do you need to install third party drivers when Linux already supports your card with its own builtin drivers?

It seems that my network lan is not working by configuring it with the Fedora's utility
