Hi Sam,Thanks for ur reply. Would u tell me what should I do or refer me to an internet document.
Well, the first thing that you need to do is form a habit that when you reply to a mailing list, you always quote the relevant parts of the message that you're replying to, as I'm doing now. Otherwise, when someone opens your message and reads it, they'll have no idea what you're talking about.
My suggestion is to do a complete update to your system. "yum update". This will install the latest matching kernel and kernel-devel packages, and, after rebooting, you will be able to proceed and build your driver without too much fuss.
If, on the other hand, you have some specific reason for building a driver for your current, older, kernel: remove your existing kernel-devel package, "rpm -e kernel-devel"; check which version of the kernel rpm you have installed, and you're running; if, for example, uname -r shows "2.6.25.10-86.fc9.i686", then install the matching kernel-devel rpm, "yum install kernel-devel-2.6.25.10-86.fc9.i686".
But I would also question whether you really need to build your kernel module in the first place. In 2008, I find it rather implausible that you can find a run-of-the-mill Ethernet card, especially a Realtek, that's not directly supported by the Linux kernel. Before wasting your time, you should check if you really need to do this. Just because the manufacturer offers a downloadable driver doesn't mean that it's not already in the kernel. You may be wasting your time, here, for no good reason.
