This modem driver needs the kernel headers from your current kernel to
know the kernel-specific stuff, ie to be compatible with it (it's
probably a kernel module?). So you'll need the kernel headers. It seems
you already have a /usr/src/linux/include directory so the make guesses
that it's there that it needs to find these headers. You need to install
the header files for your kernel and override its settings with the
correct kernel headers (check the accompagning readme). if you updated
your kernel yourself it needs to be configured and have run with make
dep I think.
