Hey,
=20
We have a lot of performance problems with the stock eepro100 driver of
kernel 2.4.13.
=20
So we would like to use the driver from scyld or the e100 driver from
Intel.
But we didn't succeed to compile one of them.
=20
The machines are booted over NFS, so the driver has to be included in
the kernel and not as module.
=20
I copied eepro.c, pci-scan.c , pci-scan.h and kern_compat.h to
drivers/net.
I modified the Makefile to include:
export-objs :=3D 8390.o arlan.o aironet4500_core.o
aironet4500_card.o \
ppp_async.o ppp_generic.o slhc.o pppox.o
auto_irq.o \
net_init.o pci-scan.o
=20
But it won't compile.
=20
This is the error I get:

Has anybody an idea what I'm doing wrong?
=20
Thnx,
