Anne ... the Makefile in your linux source will have a line like this. EXTRAVERSION = -0.18mdkcustom Now the word custom is added by MDK because so many people screw up their box by building a new kernel with the same name as their original. For what you need to do (building a module for the original kernel) change this by removing the word custom then do a make mrproper and make dep. At this point the kernel source and it's version will match the uname of your kernel you are using. This should get rid of the version.h error. You have to do the make mrproper and make dep anyway when building modules just so that everything matches. James
