lspci lists PCI devices, it is in /sbin/, so you may need to run the
script which prints out that requirement as root.

There is an error. You though go beyond?

You need to compile with gcc32! Change at least the Makefile.

Might result from using gcc version 3.3. As said above, you need to use
gcc version 3.2 as you compile a kernel module and the kernel is
compiled with gcc 3.2.
