How do I compile a module?

How do I compile a .c file into a module? The driver is for my POS USB NIC I've tried 'make' but it says something about an initialization from incompatible pointer type. Thanks!

if you compiling a USB module and you are using kernel 2.2.x then you need at least kernel version 2.2.16 and then patch it with USB support. You will also need to get whatever module patch you may have and apply the patch for it....
if you already have USB support then you should be able to type make after you have extracted the tarball and type make in the directory which is was extracted to, you may need to do an make install too.

I'm running 2.2.17, where would I get the patch?
