[PLUG] Linux 2.4.18 include file.


I downloaded RedHat 7.3 and installed on my PC. I
found this version does not support my Ethernet
Adapter:

Asound LAN: PCI 10/100 Mbps
Version:ALM-2(CHIP:ASOUND LAN-8139
http://www.asound.com.tw

The downloaded RedHat 7.3 version from www.redhat.com
does not include source code. 

So I have to download linux 2.4.18 source code from
ftp.linux.com (RedHat 7.3 using linux 2.4.18-3 kernel.
I don't know what "-3" mean here).

When I try to compile Ethernet driver: fealnx.c, I
found that linux/config.h is including
linux/autoconf.h. But autoconf.h is not in 2.4.18.
What is going on? What file autoconf.h become to?

Also, driver source code using linux/malloc.h. But
this file is depreciated to linux/slab.h. Should I
just change malloc.h to slab.h in Ethernet driver
fealnx.c code?
