Re: sitecom ethernet does not function

An update.

Tried to install tango.c plus pci-scan.c as mentioned on the webpage of 
Donald Becker. So from ftp I loaded:
Makefile
kern_compat.h
pci-scan.c
pci-scan.h
tulip-diag.c
tulip.c

Now the following:
edward@linux:/windows/C/Business_docu/Linux_docu/ether_tulip > ls
Makefile  kern_compat.h  pci-scan.c  pci-scan.h  tulip-diag.c  tulip.c
edward@linux:/windows/C/Business_docu/Linux_docu/ether_tulip > make 
KERN_INCLUDE=/lib/modules/2.4.4-4GB/build/include
Makefile:46: No kernel version has been specified.
 Assuming 2.4.4-4GB.
 Set the KERNVER variable to specify a different kernel.
Makefile:55: Using /lib/modules/2.4.4-4GB/build/include for the kernel 
header files.
cc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 
-I/lib/modules/2.4.4-4GB/build/include  -pipe -fno-strength-reduce 
-DMODVERSIONS   -c -o pci-scan.o pci-scan.c
pci-scan.c:53: linux/modversions.h: Onbekend bestand of map    <--

pci-scan.c:57: linux/modversions.h: Onbekend bestand of map    <--

:'(
root@linux:/usr/include/linux > ls mod*

root@linux:/usr/include/linux > cp modsetver.h modversions.h
root@linux:/usr/include/linux > exit
exit
