[netdrivers] How to compile sundance.c on fedora core 2 linuxbox

[Rizzo Lorenzo (GRTN)]

Hi,
I've a linuxbox running FC2 with 4 ethernet card Dlink DFE550TX that doesn't work well.
I'm trying to uptdate the sundance driver according with the last release downloaded from your site but I wasn't able to compile the module.
I got an error compiling pci-sca.c but after modified to the following lines :

modified : pci-scan.c

#include <linux/version.h>
#if defined(MODVERSIONS)
/* #include <linux/modversions.h> */
#include "/lib/modules/2.6.5-1.358/build/include/config/modversions.h"
#endif

i'd compiled it with the attached warning:

[root at fc2node1 mymod]# make pci-scan.o
Makefile:46: No kernel version has been specified.
 Assuming 2.6.5-1.358.
 Set the KERNVER variable to specify a different kernel.
