Paul, I don't know if you resolved this yet or not. I haven't seen any responses to your initial email. I have a nic card that uses the tulip driver and had to compile the driver also. I had the same problem i.e. could not find modversions.h . Here is something that I found on scyld.com that resolved the modversion.h problem. After you type the compile command add this on the same line "-I/usr/src/linux/include -include /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h" . Hope this helps.
