Jeeze! The 2.2 kernel tree has been dead for at least two years. Why
do you want to go back that far?
2.2 kernels were designed to be built with the old gcc 2.96 system.
The directives have changed between 2.96 and 3.x. If you must go back,
make sure you change the "GCC=" directive in the Makefile to use
"gcc296". Also be aware that the 2.2 kernel uses a different module
loading mechanism (/etc/conf.modules versus /etc/modules.conf) and the
kernel-utils and modutils packages are quite different.
Unless you really know what you're doing, I wouldn't try going back
to a 2.2 kernel. You're much better off trying to port your modem
stuff to a 2.4 kernel. Better yet, go to the current 2.6 kernel if
you can (FC2, FC3, or FC4), since the development work is going on in
the 2.6 tree. IMHO, kernel 2.2 is dead and kernel 2.4 is on life
support.
