[tulip] Compilled tulip driver for cardbus- version mismatch

[vinod asokan]

Hi,

I am able to compile the driver source using the -DCARDBUS option.
But when i load the driver, using insmod or thru pcmcia services,

the kernel gives version mismatch the following messges :

+ lib/modules/2.4.5-3/pcmcia/tulip_cb.o : kernel-module version mismatch
+ lib/modules/2.4.5-3/pcmcia/tulip_cb.o was copiled for kernel version 2.4.4
+ lib/modules/2.4.5-3/pcmcia/tulip_cb.o while this kernel is version
2.4.5.-3

and insmod failed.

I also tried :
# insmod -f tulip_cb.o

How to compile the driver for the current version of the kernel. What is the
compile option for specifying current kernel version?

thanks
Vinod Asokan

Note that 0.9.* drivers are based on my code, but not my releases.

Please confirm: you have a CardBus card with a 100baseFx transceiver?!
That's quite unusual.

What type of transceiver does the card have, SYM or MII?
You can run 'tulip-diag' to provide more information
