Trying to install a new USB to LAN device on Ubuntu 10.04

[Ashim Kapoor]

Dear Ring,

I am following the howto that you sent me,along with the great help
that I got on this list. Looks pretty good. Thanks. No problem for the
delay, I fell asleep myself last night. I am sorry about the confusion
about your name, I guessed that from your email.

Dear all,
I have entered the idProduct and idVendor in the dm9601.c file. When I
do the make
I don't get the result that I want. Here is my Makefile / it's output.
I don't see any targets apart from default and clean. Perhaps I don't
clearly understand how to use this Makefile. Could someone tell me
what I should do ?
