SubjectRe: Compile third-party module into the kernel
Oops:
The right address of the patch is:
http://developer.momonga-linux.org/viewcvs/trunk/pkgs/kernel24/momonga-linux-2.4.20-3c90x.patch

I see now that it is designed for 3com driver version 1.0.0i. Does
that mean I cannot use it with version 1.0.2?
