The complaint about the GPL is due to a missing license statement.
The line

	MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");

should be added to netdriver/sheep.c and kernel_module/Linux/init.c just
after the #includes.

However, I suspect the cause of the problem is that the kernel you 
are running has been compiled without xmon support while the 
headers you are using have been setup with xmon support
enabled. (With a stock 2.4.18 kernels it shouldn't matter, but
2.4.18-0.8a seems to be a patched version...)

The best thing is to make sure the headers and the kernel match
completely (including the config options). As an alternative
it ought to be sufficient to add the following code to
netdriver/sheep.c:

void
xmon(struct pt_regs *excp)
{
}

Cheers,
