Hi,
I just installed Debian Woody on my Dell Inspiron 1100 Laptop. The 2.4.18
kernel that comes with it does not have support for the NIC, which is a
Broadcomm 4400 gigabit NIC. I have downloaded the drivers and extracted
the tarball, but make errors out with tons of "parse error before ___"
where the blank is filled in with different names such as 'pPacket' and
'pUmPacket'
then after the pages of errors:
make: *** [b44um.o] Error 1

Do I need to do something to the Makefile?
Is any more information needed?

Thanks much for the advice,

-Alan
