Unable to Compile a LAN Card Driver on Centos4.4 - Discuss

15 Jun 2007


      Hi Friends,
I recently purchased a LAN Card and the LAN Card CD contains drivers
for Linux. But when I am trying to compile the driver on Centos4.4 I
am getting below errors.

How do I compile this driver on Centos4.4?
I have attached the readme, makefile and sc92031.c files with this
email. Please let me know if you need any other input.
Thanks & Regards
