Hi,
This maybe related to a problem that I was having with a netgear fa311 card I
was trying to
build drivers for.
Here's was I saw and did:
The netgear had a fa311.c file on it and a driver compiled for red hat 6.2
2.2.5-15 or something.
I tried to compile it and got a whole ton of error like you describe. (Side
note: I looked at
the code and there was a comment that said that the drive might not be SMP
friendly, so
I found the pci_*.c and natsemi.c driver from scyld. Compiling this had the
same symptoms)
More to the point I found that in types.h there was a __KERNEL_STRICT_NAMES
symbol
and if I force this to be undefine in types.h I would create a .o file.
(Whether this is proper or
not I have no idea). (But this seems relevant to the messges put out by the
#error directives
below.) Experimentation suggested that both drivers work. But I haven't
stressed them.
A: Eric this might help/hurt you in the short term.
B. What's the right thing to do?
C. I know that I wasn't compling the vortex driver, but I have one of those
cards too.
That's why I'm listening now and shooting of my mouth, so to speak.
Rich.

I've scoured the archives, and people seem to be saying that I need to
add "-I/usr/src/linux/include" to my compile path. I made sure that
the appropriate directories were in place, and then added that to my compile
line, like this:
