Compiling a kernel module you must use gcc32 instead of gcc which is
version 3.3. So you need either edit the Makefile or it may be enough to
run "CC=gcc32 make ...".

Maybe the source for the driver does not compile with any gcc version
3.x.

Thanks for the help Alexander, I'm a complete newbie (and a prat for
putting all that info in) so im not sure how to edit the makefile (or
what it is) also what would I put in after the "CC=gcc32 make"?
