[tulip] Re: Using tulip.c with 2.4.18 for a 21143 card

[Steinar Bang]

Platform: Intel PII (Digital PC5510), 21143-based NIC,
	  debian testing (aka. "sarge"), 
	  2.4.18 kernel from the kernel-image-2.4.18-686 package

The install fails for me with the below error messages about missing
symbols. 

/usr/src/linux/ is a symlink pointing to the 2.4.18 source:
	lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     src            22 Jul 31 14:20 linux -> ./kernel-source-2.4.18

Here are the messages from "make install":

Makefile:46: No kernel version has been specified.
 Assuming 2.4.18-686.
 Set the KERNVER variable to specify a different kernel.
