I now use kernel 2.4.1 (on SuSE 7.1) and have the same problem. (Before I used 2.2.14 an it worked well). I had a look at the included file "netdevice.h" from the kernel's include directory and indeed "struct net_device" does not have the members named above (any more).

Why that ?
And: Could you please let me know if it works with 2.4.2 ?
