hum, similar drivers, similar solutions ;-)
it seems we have around a 7 years lag...
it would be interesting though to have feedback on how this is implemented
in distributions.
From my point of view, installing kernel-source only has one advantage :
it has dependancies that get all necessary tools installed to compile our
driver. This could be achieved with a eagle-usb-devel package with
necessary/identified dependancies (not yet that necessary as we do not
have that many compilation options).

Concerning the headers problem, I found later that the includes of the
current kernel are located in the directory
/lib/modules/<kernel-version>/build/include/linux/  in the fedora
distribs. So you just have to make your ATM makefile point to the folder
 instead of the default one (/usr/include/linux).
Following a Linus Torvald's directive, the header present in the
/usr/include/linux are those used to compile the glibc present in the
system, IIRC.
