Error compiling modules

[Brett I. Holcomb]

I think it's something on yoiur system.  I'm using the module on another 
system and it works fine - no errors.  Also, this driver is used by many, 
many systems for onboard as well as PCI controllers so it tthere was a 
problem it would have been fixed - at least one like you got.
