I think the line of reasoning is that very few programs really care about the version of the kernel headers.
Unfortunately, you've got module versioning as an option in the kernel, so it is going to check the version.h the module was compiled against with the one in the kernel. I'd suggest recompiling your module with "-I/usr/src/linux/include/linux", provided you have the kernel source installed. -- Stephen Pitts [EMAIL PROTECTED] webmaster - http://www.mschess.org
