[vortex] building netdrivers on Linux/X86

I am trying to install and build the netdrivers-3.1-1.src.rpm per the
instructions on http://www.scyld.com/network/updates.html.

When I run `rpm -bb SPECS/netdriver*.spec' from /usr/src/redhat, 3c59x.c
errors with the following:

`NETIF_MSG_MISC' undeclared

Any ideas???

I'm running RedHat 7.2 with 2.4.18 kernel.

It appears that NETIF_MSG_MISG is (conditionally) defined in kern_compat.h,
but that is also in the usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/netdrivers.tgz archive.

What am I doing wrong here?


I've compiled the 3c59x driver and pci-scan with no errors, but I still get
unresolved symbols when I try to insmod them.  So I gave up on that avenue.
