NetGear FA310TX Problems

Hey, I have a NetGear FA310TX NIC and I have 5 different versions of
tulip.c (slack version, NetGear version, and three from your web-site).
Everytime I try to compile them I get the same error.
Likewise, when I try to rebuild my kernel, the same thing happens...

mother:/# gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c tulip.c
/usr/include/asm/string.h: In function `__constant_memcpy':

Do you think there is something messed up with the string.h?  I even
reformatted and re-installed slack from the CD.  I'm running 2.0.34 (off

the slack 3.5 cd from CheapBytes).  I'm guessing that it's a compile
problem, 'cuz it seems as though I'm doing everything the texts say to
do.  I do get a tulip.o after the compile.
I've tried rebuilding the kernel with ethernet support, loading it in
rc.module and rc.inet1.  If you can think of anything, please tell me.
