It's unrelated to the problem here, but the 2.4.4 kernel is not suitable
for use.  We didn't release a 2.4-based product until 2.4.17.

What does 'locate modversions.h' return?

Either do
  make tulip.o
  make pci-scan.o
or get the set of drivers:

mkdir /tmp/netdrivers/
cd /tmp/netdrivers/
ncftpget ftp://ftp.scyld.com/pub/network/netdrivers.tgz
tar xfvz netdrivers.tgz
make
make install
