e100 2.1.6 driver from Intel including into the kernel tree 2.2.22

[Marc-Christian Petersen <m.c.p@wolk-project.de>]

Hi there,

doing this for the next 5 minutes will make me think I am silly because I 
cannot compile (neither static or module) the $subject.

Can anyone assist me in compiling this successfully with a 2.2.22 kernel tree?
Do not ask me why I don't use 2.4 for that (I have to use 2.2 for that reason) 
and I also have to use a static build (otherwise I can just use 'make' in the 
sources from Intel.) The module build below was just a test.


I've created a Makefile in drivers/net/e100/ looking like this:
---------------------------------------------------------------

# File: drivers/net/e100/Makefile
#
# Makefile for the Intel e100 device driver.
#

ifeq ($(CONFIG_INTEL_E100),y)
    O_TARGET := e100.o
    O_OBJS = e100_main.o e100_eeprom.o e100_config.o e100_phy.o e100_kcompat.o 
e100_test.o
else
  ifeq ($(CONFIG_INTEL_E100),m)
    MOD_LIST_NAME := INTEL_E100_MODULES
    M_OBJS := e100.o
    O_TARGET := e100.o
    O_OBJS = e100_main.o e100_eeprom.o e100_config.o e100_phy.o e100_kcompat.o 
e100_test.o
  endif
endif

include $(TOPDIR)/Rules.make

clean:  
        rm -f core *.o *.a *.s


the part from drivers/net/Makefile is this:
-------------------------------------------

ALL_SUB_DIRS := $(SUB_DIRS) ....$bla... e100

ifeq ($(CONFIG_INTEL_E100),y)
  SUB_DIRS += e100
  MOD_IN_SUB_DIRS += e100
  L_OBJS += e100/e100.o  
else
  ifeq ($(CONFIG_INTEL_E100),m)
    MOD_IN_SUB_DIRS += e100
  endif
endif


Static compile succeed but the linker does not link it to the kernel image.


Module compile looks like this:
-------------------------------

make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.22/drivers/net/e100'
make[3]: Circular ans_driver.h <- e100.h dependency dropped.
rm -f e100.o

I really appreciate any kind of help!!

Thnx alot!
