i recently bought this VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6105 [Rhine-III ethernet card, the diskette inside had an old version of the driver wich doesnt support 2.6 version of kernel,so i downloaded the new driver trought VIA website
Compiled it and got some errors.

here's some info

via rhine should be supported out of box in 99%of cases, no need to recompile
