I have a ASUS mobo (A7V8X) with a 10/100 Broadcom network card built in (not the gigabit one). The CD that came with the mobo has a linux driver on it. It is for RedHat, but it also has the source in a tar gzip file and instructions on how to compile it and use it.
I didn't think that there would be any significant differences in a driver between RedHat and Debian, but it seems that RedHat distros have some specific header files that Debian doesn't have. Following the instructions, I extract the tar gzip file and issue the make command in the source directory to compile the driver. Here is the output: $ make gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -DDBG=0 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -I/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include -c -o b44um.o b44um.c In file included from b44um.c:19: b44mm.h:31: linux/modversions.h: No such file or directory make: *** [b44um.o] Error 1 I got the modversions.h file from a mates computer (RedHat) and it contains a whole heap of #include lines for other headers. Why is this so? Surely a kernel module is a kernel module. I checked the source for 2.4.18 and 2.5.47 kernels and neither has this modversions.h file anywhere. It seems it is on RedHat and possibly other distro systems, but not Debian. Putting a copy of this modversions.h file in /usr/include/linux/ doesn't help either because then the compiler can't find a whole heap of other headers. I got my mate to compile it on his RedHat system and he had no such problems. However even taking this compiled module does not work on my system even though he is running the same kernel version. Has anyone had similar experiences? How do I get this module to compile for Debian? I have the Linux source code for the driver so it should be compileable. Cheers.
