Grep the source code for the "alpha-release driver" looking for "2.0.28"
(probably in a .h file) replace all references with the desired kernel
version. Sometimes this is handled with a version.c created at compile
time by a MakeFile. Look for the MakeFile.in to be the correct place for
the modification of the version number. It should then propogate into a
new MakeFile (you may need to delete the old one) and give the desired
results. Make clean, before the compile, should do everything necessary.
