e100 2.1.6 driver from Intel including into the kernel tree 2.2.22

Hi there,

doing this for the next 5 minutes will make me think I am silly because I cannot compile (neither static or module) the $subject.

Can anyone assist me in compiling this successfully with a 2.2.22 kernel tree? Do not ask me why I don't use 2.4 for that (I have to use 2.2 for that reason) and I also have to use a static build (otherwise I can just use 'make' in the sources from Intel.) The module build below was just a test.

I've created a Makefile in drivers/net/e100/ looking like this:
---------------------------------------------------------------

# File: drivers/net/e100/Makefile
#
# Makefile for the Intel e100 device driver.
#

ifeq ($(CONFIG_INTEL_E100),y)

    O_TARGET := e100.o
    O_OBJS = e100_main.o e100_eeprom.o e100_config.o e100_phy.o e100_kcompat.o 
e100_test.o
else
  ifeq ($(CONFIG_INTEL_E100),m)
    MOD_LIST_NAME := INTEL_E100_MODULES
    M_OBJS := e100.o
    O_TARGET := e100.o
    O_OBJS = e100_main.o e100_eeprom.o e100_config.o e100_phy.o e100_kcompat.o 

e100_test.o
endif
endif

include $(TOPDIR)/Rules.make

clean:

        rm -f core *.o *.a *.s

the part from drivers/net/Makefile is this:
-------------------------------------------

ALL_SUB_DIRS := $(SUB_DIRS) ....$bla... e100

ifeq ($(CONFIG_INTEL_E100),y)
SUB_DIRS += e100
MOD_IN_SUB_DIRS += e100
L_OBJS += e100/e100.o
else
ifeq ($(CONFIG_INTEL_E100),m)

    MOD_IN_SUB_DIRS += e100

endif
endif

Static compile succeed but the linker does not link it to the kernel image.

Module compile looks like this:
-------------------------------

make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.22/drivers/net/e100' make[3]: Circular ans_driver.h <- e100.h dependency dropped.
rm -f e100.o

I really appreciate any kind of help!!

Thnx alot!

Hi all again,

Ok, I've fixed this for now. Module works.

But I am still stuck with this problem. Does any1 have a hint for me?

Alan, maybe you? I think you have the 2.2 experience I need here :-)

ciao, Marc
