Bare with me, Newbie as I am, neither the compile commands at the end
of the file rtl8139.c, nor the commands you suggested works. Both
alternatives produce the "members missing" warning.
In rtl8139.c it is written:
gcc -DMODULE -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c rtl8139.c
but without the command: "-I usr/src/linux-2.2.4/include/ "
pointing to were the source kernel rpm installed the header files,
gcc don't find them at all. And with your suggestion about
-DMODVERSIONS it complains about "no file DMODVERSIONS".
>% gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 \
>-c rtl8139.c '[ -f /usr/include/linux/modversions.h ] && echo \
-DMODVERSIONS'
I left out the slashes and used my path to the header files, hope that was OK?
Best Regards,
Åke Svensson, still learning, still curious
