Hi, I have configured a project to the point where the 2.4.24 kernel loads into the client correctly, but I keep getting the message

'(EE) No drivers available.'

The display adapter is Cirrus Logic 5446 PCI ...

The Cirrus Logic website has Generic Ethernet Drivers only for
Linux kernel 2.0 and 2.2.5

I downloaded and unzipped 'linux225cs89x0v200.tar.gz'

Tux:/home/adam/Desktop/Downloads# tar xzvf linux225*
build
config/
config/Config.in
config/Makefile
config/Space.c
cs89x0.c
cs89x0.h
cs89x0.o
readme.txt

but when attempting to load the driver as a module following 'readme.txt' get


Tux:/home/adam/Desktop/Downloads# insmod cs89x0.o io=0x200 irq=0xA media=aui
insmod: error inserting 'cs89x0.o': -1 Invalid module format

.. wrong kernel format ?

and, attempting to compile the driver as a loadable module get

Tux:/home/adam/Desktop/Downloads# gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet -Wall
gcc: no input files
Tux:/home/adam/Desktop/Downloads# -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -DMODULE -DCONFIG_MODVERSIONS
bash: -Wstrict-prototypes: command not found
Tux:/home/adam/Desktop/Downloads# -c cs89x0.c
bash: -c: command not found


Am I attempting to use inappropriate driver software compiled for an old kernel ?

Would it be be more appropriate to simply install a linux-driver supported video card ? If so, which one would list-members recommend ? It's an old machine and I don't wish to spend too much.

Or am I missing something here ?
