No. You are _still_ using /usr/include/asm/unistd.h. Kernel modules do not use /usr/include/. Never. (I'd be willing to argue that any modules that *are* using /usr/include/ are vastly broken, no matter if they work or not.) Yes, it is a pain in the arse to get these things setup. An important pain in the arse, so it is worth your time reading and re-reading all available documentation about this until you understand it. :) If you are on a debian system, apt-get install kernel-package, and go read /usr/share/doc/kernel-package/*eader* -- that is one of the most comprehensive documents I have seen on the matter. If you aren't on a debian system, it is worth your time to manually extract the file from whatever debian has easily available through their website. :) And, the kernelnewbies.org FAQ has this documented -- read, and re-read, until it makes sense. It will. It just takes time. :) Cheers :) -- http://immunix.org/
