I compile modules with something like gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -I. -I/usr/local/src/linux/include \ -O2 -m486 -g -Wall -c $@ -o foo.o foo.c where linux is a link to the kernel source tree. Now that kernel-source packages just install a .tgz file rather than the tree, and you have to untar the tree yourself, you have to make sure that link is correct (or use the full name -I/usr/local/src/kernel-source-2.2.10/include instead).
