Had to do this a while ago. Now from memory do the following 
Go back to the via-rhine web page and there should be a link to
pci-scan.[ch] you need these as well then use the following to compile.
You need a 2.2.17 souce tree somewhere or at least the header files and
use

gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.2.17/include -Wall \
-Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing \
-pipe -fno-strength-reduce -m486 -malign-loops=2 -malign-jumps=2 \
-malign-functions=2 -DCPU=586 -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS -include \
/usr/src/linux-2.2.17/include/linux/modversions.h  -o via-rhine.o
via-rhine.c

the only real important bits above are
-D__KERNEL__ and -I/usr/src/linux-2.2.17/include

same as above with s/via-rhine/pci-scan/g

then insmod pci-scan.o
insmod via-rhine.o 
and hopefully you'll be away.
