How to compile rhinefet driver?

[fojtik]

Hi,

I have attempted to compile rhinefet driver 5.8. All fixes mentioned in a thread
rhinefet compilation fail
are already included in 5.8.
http://drivers.viaarena.com/rhinefet...212111037).tgz
VIA Arena - Display Drivers
But a compilation did not succeed.
Is it possible to find a newer rhinefet anywhere? Or does any fix exist?


make -C /lib/modules/2.6.21.5/build SUBDIRS=/tmp/rhinefet/src58 modules

*** rhine_main.old 2008-07-06 15:37:17.000000000 +0200
--- rhine_main.c 2008-07-06 15:36:01.000000000 +0200
