In Ubuntu you need to install linux-headers-2.6.12 for your kernel as well as kernel-image-2.6.12. Then you can build modules against the Ubuntu packaged kernel. I am not at an Ubuntu machine right now, so I can't give you the exact package name, but you can find it with the command "dpkg -l | grep headers". That being said, please keep in mind that Ubuntu may be based on Debian, but it is different than the official Debian distribution. You may get better information subscribing to the Ubuntu user mailing lists and asking your questions there. Good Luck, -- Bill Thompson BillT@Mahagonny.com
