kernel version



I have two files, linux_2.6.x_VCP_Driver_Source.zip and linux_2.6.x_VCP_Driver_Source.zip. Each 'unzips' to the following files. These are Silicon Labs USB drivers.

linux_2.6.x_VCP_Driver_Source.zip linux_2.6.x_VCP_Driver_Source.zip


cp210x.c cp210x.c cp210x_gpio_example.c cp210x_gpio_example.c CP210x_VCP_Linux_2.6.x_Release_Notes.txt CP210x_VCP_Linux_2.6.x_Release_Notes.txt Makefile Makefile


These are USB drivers to enable me to use a ham radio program (fldigi) so I can "talk" to my radio and transmit digital signals via the rear usb port on my ICOM IC-7600. The release notes give me instructions on how to install the driver for ubuntu and redhat and I do believe Ubuntu is a derivative of Debian which if I follow the following instruction should enable me to install that particular driver.

Build instrutions:

Ubuntu:
1. make ( your cp210x driver )
2. cp cp210x.ko to /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/kernel/drivers/usb/serial 3. insmod /lib/modules/<kernel-version/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/usbserial.ko
4. insmod cp210x.ko

What I want to know is how do I determine the kernel version of my debian 6 system so I can load the correct version?
