[tulip] Error building Tulip driver on Mandrake 9 : 'tulip.c:3249: `NETIF_MSG_RXFILTER' undeclared (first use in this function)'

[Dustin Clute]

I had this same problem with mandrake. I got the same errors. I used the 
command:
gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include
-include /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h -O6 -c tulip.c

With this command I got the pci-scan.c to compile right, but couldn't get 
tulip.c to compile it showed the error:

tulip.c: In function `set_rx_mode':

Then somebody from this mailing list told me to take the netdrivers.tgz and 
were ever it was unpacked to go to that directory where ever it is installed 
do a make, make check (there will be alot of test), then a make install. 
Then I went and compiled the tulip.c with the command:

gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include
-include /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h -O6 -c tulip.c

and it worked perfect.
Thanks to who ever told me I forgot your name sorry.
