That should be obsolete because it is a PCI, isn't it? > How do I compile the rtl8139.c file (I have tried, but it keeps > complaining about a missing linux/mod*.h [sorry, I did not record the > name] file, even when I attempt to compile it in the same directory. > All the other *.h files are recognized)?

I had this problem once but only while trying to compile a newer rtl8139 driver - not the one from the kernel. I was able to compile it with (I guess) this additional option: "-I /usr/src/linux/linux". You could check if the newer driver works for you. Have a look at http://www.scyld.com . But you can compile the kernel? Did you make "linux" a symlink to "linux-2.2.17"? Phil
