[Sig] RH 7.1 kernel recompile

[jeff zartler]

No, I didn't try that, but I found the following on bugzilla, I am also using 
both the tulip an dummy drivers.  You will notice something about  "If 
"linux/versions.h" is included in "dummy.c", the module will build."  How 
would I go about including versions.h in dummy.c?

If "linux/versions.h" is included in "dummy.c", the module will build. 
Same problem was reproduced in tulip driver.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RH 7.1
2. cd /usr/src/linux-2.4
3. make menuconfig
4. set tulip and dummy network drivers to be modules
5. save config
6. make dep ; make modules
7. note errors
        

Actual Results:  On a clean install of RH 7.1, kernel modules won't build
with errors similar to:
In file included from dummy.c:34:
/usr/src/linux-2.4/include/linux/module.h:173: nondigits in number and
nonhexadecimal
/usr/src/linux-2.4/include/linux/module.h:173: nondigits in number and
nonhexadecimal
/usr/src/linux-2.4/include/linux/module.h:173: nondigits in number and
nonhexadecimal
/usr/src/linux-2.4/include/linux/module.h:173: parse error before
`62dada05'

If "linux/versions.h" is included in "dummy.c", the module will build. 
Same problem was reproduced in tulip driver.

Expected Results:  Modules should build without errors.
