[realtek] RedHat 7.1 and the realtek driver

[mazzanti]

Hi guys,

I'm newbie to the list, so please don't call me names if this has been
already discussed thousand of times... I've taken a look at the posted
messages but failed to find anything on that issue.

Well the thing is that I have a Conceptronics 100TCL pcmcia card which is
an ethernet card with the realtek 8139 chipset. I try to make it work on
my laptop running RedHat Linux 7.1 but fail miserably. I've dowloaded the
precompiled rpms and these don't work 'cause they've been made for RedHat
7.0 and the kernel versions doesn't match (7.0 has 2.2.16 or similar while
7.1 runs with 2.4.2-2). So I have to compile the thing myself. I do as
said in the web, and nothing works. I've tried, let's say

gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -O6 -c pci-scan.c

and compiles, but then insmod pci-scan.o complains about looots of
unresolved symbols. Compiling pci.skeleton.c or rtl8139.c simply fails...
I've also included the -I/usr/src/linux-2.4/include line, but this does
not solve anything...

Has anybody encountered the same problem? Does anybody know a workaround
for this problem?

Thanks,

Ferran.
