    Hello!
    I have Debian PPC Linux 3.0 successfully running on a PowerMac7600, but
    how can I add a Asante FriendlyNet 10/100 Fast Ethernet Adapter?

    I can't even find the configuration file for the build in 10 Ethernet
    Card, its not in /etc/modules.config

    lspci seems to recognize that card: 00:0f.0 Ethernet Controller:
    National Semiconductor Cooperation DP83815 MacPhyter Ethernet
    Controller.

    I have tried to compile the driver delivered with that card on cd, but
    it didn't compile:
    dp83815.h und .c: make gives a lot of warnings and stops with:

    dp83815.c1532 warning initialization from incompatible pointer type
     dp83815.c1533 warning initialization from incompatible pointer type
    make *** dp83815.o *** Error 1

    Then I tried the source files AND the module.o from the chip
    manufacturer (link below) but insmod module.o says: ELF: This module is
    not appropriate for this architekture.

    Can someone help?
    What steps do I have to take?

    I have no WindowManager, so please tell me the file(s) I have to modify.

    Thanks for help,
    Robert
