Yup. First ifndef has two underscores. Second has none.

Fedora. fc9. 2.6.25-14.fc9.x86_64 #1 SMP

So, to confirm what you asked me to do:

I added a single line:

#include <linux/types.h>

Now the corresponding snippet looks like this:

*****************************
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <net/if.h>
#include <linux/types.h>
#include <linux/sockios.h>

/* alas, direct inclusion of ethtool.h depends on some types not
   normally found in nature, which we must provide or things will be
   quite unhappy. */

#ifndef __u64
typedef __uint64_t __u64;
typedef __uint32_t __u32;
typedef __uint16_t __u16;
typedef __uint8_t  __u8;
#endif

#ifndef u64
/* older ones want them without the leading underscores */
typedef __uint64_t u64;
typedef __uint32_t u32;
typedef __uint16_t u16;
typedef __uint8_t  u8;
#endif

#include <linux/ethtool.h>
******************************

Still no luck. I reproduce the error msg. below:

***************************
if gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I..     -g -O2 -MT netdrv_ethtool.o
-MD -MP -MF ".deps/netdrv_ethtool.Tpo" \
          -c -o netdrv_ethtool.o `test -f 'netdrv_ethtool.c' || echo
'./'`netdrv_ethtool.c; \
        then mv -f ".deps/netdrv_ethtool.Tpo" ".deps/netdrv_ethtool.Po"; \
        else rm -f ".deps/netdrv_ethtool.Tpo"; exit 1; \
        fi
netdrv_ethtool.c:20: error: conflicting types for '__u64'
/usr/include/asm/types.h:29: error: previous declaration of '__u64' was here
make[3]: *** [netdrv_ethtool.o] Error 1
***************************

Just keep throwing the suggestions at me! I want to get this working! :)
