 You may try ftp://linux.engr.uark.edu/  or specifically

   ftp//linux.engr.uark.edu/pub/linux/redhat5.2/i386/RedHat/RPMS/

 I've just downloaded the rpm package of the kernel 2.0.36-0.7.i386.rpm
there and
 installed it using the command :

	rpm -ivh kernel-2.0.36-0.7.i386.rpm

        on my machine running 2.0.34-0.6 (RedHat5.1)

 You have to edit your /etc/lilo.conf and confirm or simply insert a pointer
to the
 new kernel image after the above command is completed correctly. 
 
 Don't forget the last command - lilo , running as root on your target
machine before
 shutdown -r now is executed.

  
 Let me know your result.

 Good luck !

End of E-mail.

Subject: Compilation of 3c59x.c result in some errors.

I went into some compilation errors when compiling 3c59x.c V0.99H
11/17/98
(the latest  driver). These are the errors:

3c59x.c:94: parse error before `<'
3c59x.c: In function `vortex_probe1':
3c59x.c:879: stray '\' in program
3c59x.c:879: parse error before `;'
3c59x.c:926: `mii_preamble_required' undeclared (first use this
function)
3c59x.c:926: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
3c59x.c:926: for each function it appears in.)
3c59x.c: In function `mdio_read':
3c59x.c:2047: `mii_preamble_required' undeclared (first use this
function)
3c59x.c: In function `mdio_write':
3c59x.c:2079: `mii_preamble_required' undeclared (first use this
function)

-----------

If you know what is the problem, please tell me. Also I'm wondering is
there any site that has a pre-compiles version for kernel 2.0.36 (I'm
using Red Hat 5.2). Thanks.
