compiling a driver

[Mark M <mark@menem.mine.nu>]

gday!

I'm trying to compile a newer osst driver to test my onstream 
tapestreamer (I know I should buy a real tape streamet, but hey those 
things cost serious money!)

Everthing went fine, downloaded the 2.4.18 kernel source, make dep-ed 
the kernel using my current config 2.4.18bf2.4 (some of you are feeling 
my problem coming up now) and cleanly compiled the newer osst driver.

But when I tried to load the driver it bums out with something like: 
this driver was compiled for kernel version 2.4.18, but this is 
2.4.18bf2.4...
I can get crazy about stuff like this...

What can I do to compile this driver correctly?

P.s.
Two months ago, i did not even know what a top-level directory was, so 
be gentle?
