compiling kernel modules [fixed]

Ok, I managed to compile the kernel module successfully. /usr/share/doc/kernel-package/README.headers file was the starting point to understanding. The file contains a hint about using -I to compile against the exact kernel headers required. I also had to use the -nostdinc flag to gcc, and add oth
