make module for nic

Hello,
Trying to solve a nic driver problem on RH linux with kernel 2.4.20-8. I seems that make it is looking in the place for the nic driver. Here is what I have tried and the result errors. Please ignore typos.

modeprobe tulip
/lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/net/tulip/tulip.o: unresolved symbol_netdev_watchdog_up_R19eface2 etc....

/var/log/boot.log
localhost ifup: tulip device eth1 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization.
localhost network: Bringing up interface eth1: failed

/etc/modules.conf
alias eth1 tulip

Doing a make modules the last few lines are:
make[2] [ieee1394_core.o] Error 1
make[2] : Leaving directory /usr/src/*/drivers/ieee1394
make[1] [_modsubdir-ieee1394] Error 2
make[1] Leaving Directory /usr/*/drivers
make: [_mod_drivers] Error 2

I seems that make it is looking in the place for the nic driver. Should I edit one of the Makefiles? Should I be looking somewhere else for the cause of not being unable to install the nic driver? Any feedback would be much appreciated!

Thank you,
jim

unix_master(9r) 														   unix_master(9r)

NAME
unix_master - General: Forces execution onto the master CPU SYNOPSIS
void unix_master( void ); ARGUMENTS
None DESCRIPTION
The unix_master routine forces execution of the kernel thread onto the master CPU (also called the boot CPU). In other words, unix_master binds the kernel thread to the master CPU. To release the kernel thread from the bind to the master CPU, call the unix_release routine. You can make recursive calls to unix_master as long as you make an equal number of calls to unix_release. The unix_master routine provides another way besides the simple and complex lock routines to make a kernel module symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) safe. Although calling unix_master is not optimal for performance on an SMP CPU, it does provide third-party kernel module writers with an easy way to make their modules SMP safe without using the lock routines. NOTES
Device drivers should not directly call the unix_master and unix_release routines. One exception to this recommendation is when you want a device driver's kernel threads to run only on the master CPU. This situation occurs when your driver creates and starts its own kernel threads and you set the d_funnel member of the associated dsent structure to the value DEV_FUNNEL. In this case, each kernel thread must call unix_master once to ensure that the kernel thread runs only on the master CPU. Remember to make a corresponding call to unix_release. CAUTIONS
To avoid deadlock, do not call the unix_master routine under the following circumstances: When holding a simple lock In the driver's inter- rupt service routine RETURN VALUES
None SEE ALSO
