Re: Compiling module for interface ( Realtek r1000 )

Fred,

GREAT!
Thank you for your invaluable help and time you invested in this!!

Following your advice compilation and installation worked fine. I have no
physical access to the cluster at the moment so I cannot test if the
card actually works and if also the clients will connect.
I will report on this and give a full account of all steps to get the RTL8168
working as soon as I return to the lab (Wednesday).

Thank you once more, merci beaucoup!

ps: apparently you also changed the Makefile, could you give details?
Using the original r1000 Makefile, your version of r1000_n.c and including the
missing header files in the cluster subdir in
  /lib/modules/2.6.10-ssi_3develsmp/build
I succeeded by issuing
  [root@cluster r1000_v1.05]# make -C src/ modules
