Umm possibly the nwfs was last released 01 Dec 2001.  I'm not sure how
in sync it is with later 2.4 kernels, though it does claim support.

I've done the following as a quick test, ensured that /usr/src/linux exists as
a link to my kernel-source, ensure there is a .config around.

wget -P ~/down/ http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/fs/nwfs/nwfs1201-01.tar.bz2
mkdir ~/src/nwfs
cd ~/src/nwfs && tar xjvf ~/down/nwfs1201-01.tar.bz2
make -f util.mak

Read the README for more info.  I think you should look at probably try
building on a 2.2 box - I built on a redhat 6.2 box. Unsure if you
should/need to build the kernel driver.
