[vortex] Problems compiling 3c59x-55x-2217.c

Hi,

Hmm... I tried compiling on a pristine 2.2.17 last night, and it Works For
Me (R).

I can only guess where the problem is, so here it goes... :-)
- Are you using a "pristine" kernel (i.e., a kernel without patches as, say,
downloaded from ftp.kernel.org) or a kernel from Mandrake?
- Could you try substituting 3c59x-55x-2217.c for 3c59x.c in the kernel, and
compiling it as a kernel module? (It might not work with your current kernel
due to module versions, but take note of the command used to compile it, and
compile a module using this command).
- Does adding "-I/usr/src/linux/include" to the compile command help?

(And Just for curiosity: what is your laptop and your adapter?).
