How can I get the 1.3 version and 0.9.28 to compile on CentOS 5.8 ???

When I compile the two as modules I get errors.

Well, at the risk of stating the obvious, you will need to fix the errors.

Start by diffing your code against that of the distro driver around the functions that fail, understand why it's failing to compile (the error messages should give you a pretty good clue) and fix it.

Why are you trying to update this driver? Presumably there's a specific bug in the current driver that is fixed in the latest driver that affects your hardware? If that's the case, try taking the latest distro code as a base and just backporting the relevant patch rather than trying to build the whole new driver out of tree. This approach will probably be far more simplistic, and if it works consider submitting the patch for inclusion in the CentOSPlus kernel.

OTOH, if it's a case that you have an issue you can't nail down and you're thinking you'd just like to try the latest driver to see if it fixes it then there are easier ways of clutching at that particular straw.

So some more detailed information would help provide a more detailed answer.

My Makefile is: obj-m += 8139cp.o 8139too.o

all: make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) modules

clean: make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) clean

The errors I get are:
