You absolutely need to install the kernel source RPM and configure the
kernel source. Put the second CD in your drive. Make sure it's mounted
and enter:
rpm -ivh /mnt/cdrom/kernel-source*
Once that's done, change directory to /usr/src/linux and edit the file
"Makefile". Look at the "EXTRAVERSION=" line and delete anything after
the "=". The line should read:
EXTRAVERSION=
Then do the following:
make mrproper
cp /boot/config-2.4.20-8 .config
make oldconfig
make dep
You should then be able to build the driver:
cd /usr/src/RedHat
rpmbuild -bb SPECS/bcm4400.spec
Again, I really think you should drop RH9 and go to Fedora Core 3.
The driver is already built for you in FC3 and it's the latest version
of Red Hat Linux. Red Hat 9 is almost a year old and is no longer
supported except through Fedora Legacy (http://www.fedoralegacy.org).
If you must continue to use RH9, make sure you download and install
yum or apt-get and update your system. You're running an ancient
kernel. The latest Fedora Legacy kernel for RH9 is 2.4.20-37.9.
