LinuxQuestions.org - Suse 9 nvnet problems

I am having some problems with Suse, which I decided to try tonight. This may take some explaining:

I had installed Red Hat 9, and installed the nvnet drivers for my nforce 2 onboard using the tar.gz files. I had downloaded them with my windows partition and put them onto a shared drive.

I decompressed them on the shared drive, and did the make and make install there, too.

Anyway, I was having some problems with Red Hat, and since I was just playing around, I decided to give Suse a try as I have never used it before. I was quite impressed-- it even suggested during the install that it recognized my ethernet card, something no distro has every done before (well, from the three or four I have tried).

Anyway, tried to go online, but still couldn't. So I went back to the shared drive and tried to make and make install again. Seemed to work okay, but still couldn't get on the net. Tried doing make uninstall, deleted nvnet.o from the drivers directory, and still no go.

Here is the output I get when I try to do a make at this point. Any help would be awesome. I think what i have to do is properly get rid of the old tar.gz stuff and then reinstall clean, but I've tried erasing the files and trying again, but to no avail:
