Intel driver will not find kernel


I'm trying to install a driver for my Intel Pro/100 VE ethernet card but when i do a makefile, the terminal outputs a message saying that it cannot find my kernel source. In redhat 9 with kernel 2.4.20-18.9, where is the source and how should i modify the following (called Makefile) to search that path?

(i think this is the only part of the program needed to correct my problem, near the bottom)

# Configuration Section

# CFLAGS += -g
#extra warnings
#CFLAGS += -W -Wfloat-equal -Wtraditional -Wundef -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith\
# -Wbad-function-cast -Wcast-qual -Wcast-align -Wwrite-strings -Wconversion\
#-Wsign-compare -Waggregate-return -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations\
# -Wpacked -Wpadded -Wredundant-decls -Wnested-externs -Wunreachable-code -Winline

Well, it cant find your kernel-source which is different from kernel and is usually located in /usr/src. You can find the source for your kernel here:

http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrp...kernel-source/

find the correct one, install it and then update your makefile( there should be a line in Makefile like this one:
Kernel-source: /usr/include/whatver..
change it to your: /usr/kernel-source/include ;
note that it should point to include folder of your kernel source.
From then on it should be easy.
