module compilation warnings

[Andras Simon]

I'm trying to compile the smc-ultra kernel module (because it's
missing from the kernel in FC5 for some reason) following the
instructions in
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/fc5/release-notes-ISO/#id3098172

This works with no problem for the 2.6.15-something kernel which ships
with FC5, but with the recent 2.6.17-1.2145 kernel I get warnings

The module loads and works with no apparent problems, but still. Can
someone shed some light on this?

Thanks,
