When u develop a kernel module, u develop it for a particular version of the kernel, as I am not sure how u can develop it for multiple kernel version - YET :-). So what I do usually is to download a particular version of the kernel, and make addition there - a new modules or not. And make use of the makefile of that downloaded kernel to compile my codes - all header files required is within that package. Or u can follow all the detailed instructions within that URL above, which I would not. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
