Netscape/alpha on kernel 2.4.11 + old adaptec driver

["T. Weyergraf" <kirk@colinet.de>]

Great, thanx Falk Hueffner.
That patch does the job on 2.4.11 too. For reference, I'll include is here ;-)

In addition, if you intend to use the old aic-driver build into kernel 2.4.11 ( not as a module ), you'll
need to change ( in drivers/scsi/aic7xxx_old.c )

#if defined(MODULE) || defined(PCMCIA)
#include <linux/module.h>
#endif

to just 

#include <linux/module.h>

in order to get the MODULE_LICENSE defined.

regards,
Kirk
