| In order to compile the e100 module properly a hat to correct that link by

| "rm /usr/bin/gcc 
| ln /usr/bin/gcc-3.3 /usr/bin/gcc" 
|

| 
| "rm -f /usr/bin/gcc 
| ln /usr/bin/gcc-3.3 /usr/bin/gcc 
| export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-3.3
| make install
| modproble e100

Congrats for a job well done!  You could probably get by using just the
export CC=... before calling make without readjusting the /usr/bin link but
better save than sorry.

Enjoy the network :)

Cheers, Dirk
