Hi,
I have a pcnet32.c file. I want to make a module out of it. What should I
do. The below link requires me to make a make file. I don't know how to do
that. Please advise.

Hi Ashish,
Do you have a custom compiled kernel? If so then, it is not necessary to
download headers. If not, you have to download the headers and write a
makefile. The makefile is very simple.
obj-m += <yourfile.o>
all:
make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) modules
clean:
make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) clean
Then
make modulename
There is no specific directory to place your source, just compeile it
and later you can insert.
Thanks,
Santosh
