ok, I ran the first command:

gcc -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c dm9xs.c

it thought for a moment then finished and now I have a nice shiny new
dm9xs.o in the directory where the makefile and dm9xs.c is.

now I dont know if I am reading this right or not but I think it is
telling me to run the command:

make mod

I do this and get this error:


[root at computer temp]# make mod
make: *** No rule to make target `dmfe.c', needed by `mod'.  Stop.

Now, I am betting I am not doing this part right, but I could be wrong. 

This is where I am at with it, and I am reading some of the man pages,
but I see nothing about this. Thanks
