SubjectRE: About rebuild 2.4.x kernel to support SMP.

when you install redhat linux, you can select to install the
kernel-include and kernel-source
but I think the kernel include files come with redhat7 (i am not sure
about rh6) won't let you to compile a kernel module by using
/usr/include/linux (they ask you to use /usr/src/linux-xxx)

you can dnload the kernel source from ftp://ftp.kernel.org and build you
own kernel/NIC driver.
