That should be obsolete because it is a PCI, isn't it?

Is the file called "modversions.h"? 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"?
