[etherlab-users] configure: error: kernel 3.8 not available for 8139too driver!

[Richard Hacker]

Sorry, at the moment e100 is only supported for kernel 3.4 natively. 
Your luck may vary using the generic driver, but as you see it is broken 
for 3.8 (VM_RESERVED is not defined any more in 3.8).

You will need to drop down to earlier versions unfortunately.
