    Network driver problem

    I have an Asus A7V8X mainboard and recently installed Knoppix to my HD. It works, the only problem is that I have to compile the driver for the network card (Broadcom BCM4400 series 10/100 Mbps) and when I do it following the source tar.gz readme procedure I get the following message in the console (logged as root):

    ************************************************** ********
    gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -DDBG=0 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -I/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include -c -o b44um.o b44um.c
    gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -DDBG=0 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -I/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include -c -o b44proc.o b44proc.c
    gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -DDBG=0 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -I/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include -c -o b44lm.o b44lm.c
    ld -i b44um.o b44proc.o b44lm.o -o bcm4400.o
    ld: no se puede abrir b44um.o: No existe el fichero o el directorio
    make: *** [bcm4400.o] Error 1
    ************************************************** ********

    Last lines translated into english:
    ld: can´t open b44um.o: File or directory don´t exist
    make:*........Error 1

    I have no experience with Linux, and searching for help in Welsh and Kaufman's "Running Linux" didn´t help me. Any idea? Thank you.

    Are you running from CD or a HD install?

    As I said in my first post, I have Knoppix installed in my HD. A question: Is there any difference in the terminal commands between different Linux distributions? Perhaps the makefile is trying to use a command that Knoppix-Debian don´t recognize. If I understand the console message that I posted, gcc compiles .c files and outputs .o files and it looks that there is no problem. But after, the "ld" (load?) command can´t find the files precompiled. Is this correct? Thank you.
