et131x driver won't compile?

Man, it's tough upgrading after using a setup for so long.

Right now, I'm trying to get my 8.04 set up on an LG notebook that I have, which uses the et131x driver for its ethernet connection. I was about to find the source for it in Synaptics, so I downloaded it and tried to compile it as I have with Feisty. However, make fails with the following error:


/usr/src/modules/et131x$ sudo make
#@make -C /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/build M=/usr/src/modules/et131x modules

does anyone have any idea what's going on? Feisty with the 1.2.3 driver didn't give me any problems.

Thank you in advance for any help.

*bump* sorry, I'm still trying to get this to work... Has anyone had any success in compiling this same driver under 8.04?
