Hello, I just set up a new potato box for my friend, and we were trying to
compile his linksys ethernet card driver from source, and ran into the same
problem (can't find moduleversions.h). I ran `apt-get install
kernel-source-2.2.17` and still no moduleversions.h. Does anyone know what's
going on with that? It looks like it was looking in the right place. I
decompressed the source, made a link from /usr/src/linux, and everything.
Thanks.
