RE: [3c509] Compile time error on SuSE 9 with latest netdrivers.tgz file

Don't know if this ever got posted but...

Oh, and I managed to make this work by replacing all of the HZ variable
instances in the .c files with 100. It then compiled and I was able to load
it with modprobe.  Not the best workaround but no choice at this time.

Oops, I'm now guessing, based on the Makefile, that I'm using the following
param.h file:

/lib/modules/2.4.21-166-default/build/include/asm/param.h
::::::::::::::
#ifndef _ASMi386_PARAM_H
#define _ASMi386_PARAM_H

#ifdef __KERNEL__

#define DESKTOP_HZ      1000
#define USER_HZ         100             /* default (user level) HZ */

#include <linux/hz.h>

#endif /* __KERNEL__ */

#define EXEC_PAGESIZE   4096

#ifndef NGROUPS
#define NGROUPS         32
#endif

#ifndef NOGROUP
#define NOGROUP         (-1)
#endif

#define MAXHOSTNAMELEN  64      /* max length of hostname */

#endif

This is obviously NOT the same as the param.h that Mr. Becker was expecting.
Is this not a valid param.h file or do I need to adjust the make somehow?
If I try to put /usr/include in the include path in the makefile I get a
bunch of other errors about using the correct include files that belong w/
the OS that I'm trying to build on.

By the way, the <linux/hz.h> file contains this:

#ifndef _LINUX_HZ_H
#define _LINUX_HZ_H

#include <linux/config.h>
#include <linux/kernel.h>

extern unsigned long __HZ;

static inline unsigned long get_hz(void)
{
#ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_HZ
        if (unlikely(!__HZ)) {
                __label__ here;
                printk("early HZ: %p\n", &&here);
        here:
                init_HZ(USER_HZ);
        }
#endif /* CONFIG_DEBUG_HZ */
        return __HZ;
}

#define HZ get_hz()

#define CLOCKS_PER_SEC  (USER_HZ)       /* like times() */

#define jiffies_to_clock_t(x)   (likely((HZ) >= (USER_HZ)) ?
        \
                                 (x + ((HZ) / (USER_HZ)) - 1) / ((HZ) /
(USER_HZ
)) :    \
                                 (x) * ((USER_HZ) / (HZ)))
#define user_to_kernel_hz(x)    (likely((HZ) >= (USER_HZ)) ?
        \
                                 (x) * ((HZ) / (USER_HZ)) :
        \
                                 (x + ((USER_HZ) / (HZ)) - 1) / ((USER_HZ) /
(HZ
)))
#define user_to_kernel_hz_overflow(x)   ((x + USER_HZ - 1) * (HZ) /
(USER_HZ))

#endif /* _LINUX_HZ_H */

What now oh 3c59x gurus????

Thanks for the help.

Hmmm, it looks as if you are running a modified kernel.
The likely element in common here is 'HZ', which should be defined as a
constant in
   /usr/include/asm/param.h
The first few lines of the file should have

#ifndef HZ
#define HZ 100
#endif
