Virgil,
All you have done is OK in principle.
This problem of config.h absence in 2.6.18 kernel code
is affecting multiple driver compiles, including Intel537 and pctel
modem drivers. One suggested fix in the context of the Intel537 code
was that at occurences of
#include <config.h>
replace this call by:
#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,18)
#include<linux/autoconf.h>
#else
#include<linux/config.h>
#endif
Within the afflicted drivers/amrmo_init.c , I have tried a few
variants of this fix without success. For example for an attempt
with:
-------
#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,18)
# define POST17
#endif
#ifdef POST17
#include <linux/autoconf.h>
#else
#include <linux/config.h>
#endif
-------
mimics a similar older conditional in the code.
A compile with 2.6.17 sources succeeds.
But with 2.6.18 sources there is a failure at:
make all KERNEL_VER=2.6.18-1.2798.fc6
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/modules/slmodem-2.9.11-20070116/drivers'

Error 136
make[3]: *** [_module_/usr/src/modules/slmodem-2.9.11-20070116/drivers] Error 2
The lethal "Floating point exception" issues are far beyond my C code
knowledge.
Hopefully maintainer Sasha will be able to work up a fix soon.

Kernel-header resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
