[3c509] 3c509.c driver won't compile

[John Terry]

Donald,

Thanks for your timely and excellent support.  And thanks for writing the
drivers in the first place.
After I read your reply, I tried it and it appears to work, in that the
source code now compiles, but with a couple of warning messages.  After I
get off work tonight I will try to install and test the driver module to
find out whether I will need to upgrade my glibc or not.

After I read your e-mail response, I re-read the stuff on your web site
about Red Hat 7.0 and realized that you had already covered the additional
parameters to add to the compile command, if I had read more carefully in
the first place.

Thanks again

John Terry
