hi,

I need to install a network interface card on my OpenSUSE 11.1 system. The card is a "US Robotics 997902 10/100/1000 PCI NIC". I have found the driver on USR web site:

http://www.usr.com/support/product-template.asp?prod=7902a

and I have downloaded the linux driver which is the same that I have on the installation CD. The matter is when i try to install it. I have followed the readme file and after I unzipped the file I ran the make clean modules command as root and follow is the output:

linux-thej:/r8169 # make clean modules
make -C src/ clean
make[1]: Entering directory `/r8169/src'
rm -f *.o *.ko *~ core* .dep* .*.d .*.cmd *.mod.c *.a *.s .*.flags
make[1]: Leaving directory `/r8169/src'
make -C src/ modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/r8169/src'
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.27.19-3.2-pae/build SUBDIRS=/r8169/src modules
make: Entering an unknown directory
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.27.19-3.2-pae/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: Leaving an unknown directory
make[1]: *** [modules] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/r8169/src'
make: *** [modules] Error 2

I have also noted that in the c source file are included a series of library that I haven't on my system, what I should to do? Who can help me?

thanks in advance

Did you ever get this working? I installed the linux headers and got to at least this point:
