 <<errors.1>>  <<errors.2>>  <<errors.3>> 

hello,

  I am not sure if this is the correct way to add a message to the mailing
list but I will try anyway. I am new to Linux and have had a great number of
"learning experiences" since I first installed it. I believe I have a
LNE-100tx Linksys network card(ethernet).  I will find out specifically what
the card type I have later. I used to have Linux version 6.2 installed. On
that install, I had to compile the drivers. I downloaded the latest versions
of pci-scan.c and tulip.c from the ftp.scyld.com site. It compiled without
incident. I decided to upgrade to 7.0. That is where I am having my
problems. I have tried to compile the pci-scan.h and I recieve assembler
warnings but nothing fatal. On the tulip.c however I recieved a slew of
errors. I will include the files. First, I got errors stating that the
member variables tbusy and start didn't exist(errors.1). Second, after some
research, I had a friend send me a copy of his(6.2) version of netdevice.h
which had those variables declared in the netdevice structure. Then I
compiled it. Now I recieved a ton of pointer dereferencing errors(errors.3).
I then did some more research and found that in netdevice.h the structure
was named device NOT net_device, so I took it upon my self to replace all
the instances of device with net_device. this time the only errors I
recieved was that a #define was not declared(NET_BH). I have tried a couple
of things to no avail. Please I beg of you, O genius of the tulip device
driver, have pity on me and solve this issue for me. I know I am probably
doing something stupid. I had reservations to even edit the files but I said
what the heck! Anyway, Thanks in advance for any tidbits of wisdom you can
give. 


!!!  I know I am full of it. !!!  : )
