Thanks. But how can I do it if I have move pcnet32.c to my own place.

Well, you can make a copy of the existing kernel tree, and simply
modify things in there, then "make modules_install". Or you can make a
link from the kernel tree pcnet32.c, to your own.
If you don't have space or permissions for that, you are pretty much
SOL, I think. :-)
Ok, I kid you. Put the driver somewhere, and type something like:
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.19/include -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common
-fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i686
-DMODULE -nostdinc -I /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.95.4/include
-DKBUILD_BASENAME=pcnet32 -c -o pcnet32.o pcnet32.c
Or whatever the actual command is that is output for the module when
you build the unmodified kernel.
Then copy it to /lib/modules/2.4.19/kernel/drivers/net/, or wherever,
and "insmod" away.
