Hi,

I have Fedora Core 5, Kernel 2.6.16 and an Intel 537EP modem and have downloaded the intel-537ep-2.60.80.1 driver from the Intel website. After some problems with the make not finding the autoconf.h (now sorted) I am gettting errors from the make. See below:

make 537

Failed to build driver

I have highlighted the apparent errors in red. Unfortunately my C ain't that hot and I'm not clear as to what the problem is here. I can see where the problem is, just not why it's a problem. It looks to me like maybe some kind of compatibility issue but I'm not sure.

Anybody any ideas?

Thanks.
