kernel version needed error, and v89i compile problem

Hi..
I have two separate problems, one with the tulip.c v89H and one with tulip.c
v89I
I am trying to replace an ISA NE2000 card with a PCI Netgear FA 310TX card.
After getting everything in, I tried to load the tulip.o module (v89H) and I
get this error: "kernerl_version needed, but can't be found"
I tried recompiling and that seemd to go fine. I tried looking at the source
code some but quickly found it to be out of my league. The card is picked up
by the BIOS and when doing a 'cat /proc/pci' the card information is there.
2nd problem. Try a newer driver, which there is one. But the 89I version
wouldn't even compile, using the compile command at the end of the tulip.c
file, I get:
tulip.c: In function `tulip_probe':
tulip.c:511: `PCI_VENDOR_ID_LITEON' undeclared (first use this function)
tulip.c:511: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
tulip.c:511: for each function it appears in.)
I checked the source and found no other instances of PCI_VENDOR_ID_LITEON, so
maybe I'm missing a header file? Again driver programming is a little beyond
me.
Any help with either of these problems would be greatly appreciated.
I am using RedHat 4.0, kernel 2.0.18, nothing specially modified with the
machine at all. There is a 3Com 905b card in the machine and the Netgear card
is replacing a NE2000 ISA card. I will be moving to RedHat 5.1 soon, so if I
should do that first please let me know.
Thanks...
