You need the kernel header files. Try apt-cache search

It may sound stupid, but I have no idea which kernel Debian has installed. "bf24" tells me it is 2.4.x, but I don't know what x is. I expect there is a way to find out - can anyone help me here?
Initialising a partition would have deleted everything or nothing, and I would expect everything.
They'll go in /usr/src/<somedir>, create the symlink between that and /usr/src/linux.
RPMS? sounds like RH??
Yes. Now I'm confused.
I can only assume that "initializing" the partition did not in fact delete everything. I did try a Mandrake install when I was getting nowhere with drivers for the NIC on Debian. (At least Mandrake did recognise the card...). Anyway, the drake is all gone, and I suppose I can rmdir that little remnant.
The RPM stuff has probably been unpacked by your driver disk.
It looks like the driver module is supposed to compile against pcmcia-cs (I'm not sure why). Possibly you need to get the source of this package. Woody uses 3.1.33, but you would want to get the source from the debian ftp server.
On general principle, I treat linux drivers provided by hardware vendors as a last resort. If they're not brand new, then someone somewhere will have integrated them properly into the kernel (if they're open source) or replicated them if they're not. You should try to get the standard Realtek driver to work before you resort to trying to use IBM's
