Has anyone been able to compile this driver to compile under a 2.4 kernel?

< http://sourceforge.net/projects/rtl8180-sa2400 >

I've compiled it under 2.6 with no issues, but when I try to compile it in order to make a .dsl I get the following error:

Quote

dsl@box:/usr/src/rtl8180-0.21$ make
make -C /lib/modules/2.4.26/build SUBDIRS=/ramdisk/usr/src/rtl8180-0.21 MODVERDIR=/ramdisk/usr/src/rtl8180-0.21 modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/ramdisk/usr/src/linux-2.4.26'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `modules'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/ramdisk/usr/src/linux-2.4.26'
make: *** [2.6] Error 2

I have the kernelsource.dsl, gcc tools and such installed and working.

Any ideas, please?

The kernelsource.dsl package is only the kernel headers. I think you need the full kernel source from < http://developer.linuxtag.net/knoppix....all.deb >
Then you need to symlink a few directories, because the kernel source ends up in /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.26, not /usr/src/linux-2.4.26 as you would expect.

I have never used the DSL build tools, I have Knoppix 3.4 as a development environment for DSL. I just tried to compile this driver package now, and it failed.

So then I tried the compilation in Vector Linux with a 2.4.26 kernel. This was successful, and there's a good chance the modules may work in DSL.
Email me if you want them.
