I was thinking that it may be a matter of compiling the 3c59x.c in order to
transform it into the 3c59x.o and copy this module into the
/lib/modules/2.2.18pre21/net directory in order to replace the old module.
Is this correct? if so, how can I compile the module?
Thanks again for the help!

Marcelo
