Building on RH7.3 from netdrivers-3.3

I purchased a Netgear FA511 CardBus adapter for my Thinkpad 600E running RH7.3 
with the 2.4.19 kernel.  The supplied driver failed to compile on this 
system.

So I grabbed netdrivers-3.3.tgz and unpacked it.  In the Makefile I set:
PCMCIA?=/usr/src/linux/include/pcmcia
But,
$ make 
also fails with:
Makefile:46: No kernel version has been specified.
 Assuming 2.4.18-19.7.x.
 Set the KERNVER variable to specify a different kernel.
cc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 
-I/lib/modules/2.4.18-19.7.x/build/include/  -pipe -fno-strength-reduce 
-DMODVERSIONS   -c -o pci-skeleton.o pci-skeleton.c

The targetted kernel is correct.

Could someone point me in the right direction to deal with this?

Alternatively, Mr. Becker's online docs mention that pre-compiled drivers are 
available but, I could not find where they might be.  Can someone point them 
out?

In the docs, the driver update page appears to recommend the SRPM route as the 
prefer technique but ftp://ftp.scyld.com/pub/network/netdrivers-3.1-1.src.rpm 
does not appear to exist.
