[tulip] compilation of tulip.c failed

Hi all,

I am trying to get a Linksys PCMPC200 CardBus card working on my laptop
(Dell Inspiron 3500).

I understand that there are two way to get it working:
a.- pcmcia_cs package
b.- tulip driver from scyld.com
As I use the hotplug functionality on a 2.4.17 kernel, I would like to drop
completely the drivers from pcmcia_cs package and use the kernel one or the
scyld one. (it worked with my Xircom CBEM 56-100TX with xircom_cb

Back to the problem:
I simply can't compile the tulip dirver: an error occured with
NET_MSG_RXFILTER (from memory). Actually, the included netdevice.h has an
enum declaration, but like four terms shorter. It doesn't have anything from
NET_MSG_RXFILTER downward.
pci-scan compiled fine though.
The kernel module (tulip) won't insmod: something with init modules, maybe
an IRQ problem...
Beside, the link led blinks

The questions:
Am I right to think that the right way to get it working is through the
scyld or kernel module ?
Is the compilation problem on a 2.4.17 kernel a know bug, or my fault (as I
think)?
Has anyone got this card up and running with a recent kernel?

Thanks for your help
