try this:

you will see the compiler command right thier for you, cut/paste it and see

should look like this:
gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes
-O6 -c tulip.c `[ -f /usr/include/linux/modversions.h ] && echo -DMODVERSIONS`
the above is one line.
also, the above works fine for me with the tulip.c on the mandrake distro and
the one from the web (on the nasa site)
