Hi you all,

i've just bought a new pc with the nic named in the topic.
I heard it must be a great card but i have some problems with
it under my current LFS ( www.linuxfromscratch.org ). 

1) I use the 3c59x driver support by the kernel, works fine until
using samba. Slow network traffic and lots of colision.

So, i decided to download the 3com driver 3c90x-102.tar.gz from
the site and compile. I removed the --DMODVERSIONS and -D__SMP__
from the ./compile_SMP. This solved some compile problems, then
the gcc told malloc.h was depraced, i changed this to slab.h in 
the 3c90x.h file. 

The module compiles fine, but while loading the following three 
errors occure:

unresolved symbol __global_cli
unresolved symbol __global_save_flags
unresolved symbol __global_restore_flages

The are defined in the /usr/src/linux/include/asm/system.h.

How can i solve this? Please help, i'm kind of new to this.

Chris
