Trouble Compiling - Mandrake 6.1

[Omar]

I never got tulip to compile as a module.  Of course lots of people DID do 
it, so i'm sure its possible but well i only have so much time to f'** 
around with it.  So I copied it over the tulip.c in the source directory 
and just compiled it with the kernel. no problems there. the make bzImage 
scripts have the "right' options i guess since it compiles it just fine
