Re: Gcc errors while compiling 3com updated driver 3c59x.c

[Andree Leidenfrost <leidenfrost@dkrz.de>]

Hi again,

you're welcome ;-)

However, thinking of it, why would you want to patch the kernel for a
3c590 card? The one in the machine which I use to write this mail works
perfectly with right this card under the stock 2.0.30 Debian kernel
package.

In case, there is something newer/better available for a newer better
card: After having patched the kernel (and having checked ther e were no
rejects) you usually can access any new feature via the various
configuration methods. And the subsequent usual makes sgould give you a
new kernel with the new feature.

I think (but am not sure) that kernel modules are not mere object files
but that there is a wrapper that forms an interface between the kernel
and the module.

Regards,

	Andree
