Belkin f5d5000 ethernet card
 

i am trying to install this ethernet card on redhat 8.. the included driver from the company doesnt compile, its gets about a million errors. so i've been browsing the kernel docs and i have found that there is a modified version of that driver included in the source. It is called 8139too.c
i guess i dont have that compiled into my kernel, so how can i make that module available? do i have to recompile the whole damn kernel? i dont want to b/c whenever i recompile my kernel i lose support for my wireless mouse which is a problem i have yet to be able to solve, anyone?

errr ok, i finally have found the compiled driver, 8139too.o
now the damn thing wont load. i get unresolved symbols when i do a tset like so: /sbin/modprobe 8139too.o
