This errors are wierd...

Line 9 of spinlock.h is an prototype definition of printk. 

The 2b7d4074 is whats wrong. You seem to have some junk in your source
code. Try compiling it -E and have a look at the output from CPP. I
suspect you have corrupted either your kernel sources or the usb_eth
driver sources.

As for using the driver in 2.4.3, we have not experiance with
this. Wasn't the USB code re-written between kernels 2.2 and 2.4? I
don't follow what goes on with the kernel so i don't really know.
