Firstly, forget about VC++. I would copy the source to the path
/usr/src/linux/drivers/net (note that the linux dir is most likley a link
to like linux-x.x.x
also note that if this source file was writen for VC++ then you are out of
luck and I have much pity for you. If writen for linux then you are in a
good position.
If you are lucky, there are compile directions at the bottom of the file.
If you are not lucky, then you get to play with compiler commands and
such. Look at the bottom of other .c network source files for examples of
compile command lines.
finally, copy the .o file to /lib/modules/<kernal>/net
to use the file use insmod (man insmod).
good luck. I hate network modules.
