I'm afraid this is a known problem. The  current  code  assumes  (and
works fine) in a Linux 2.4 based environment, but fails (like in your
case)  when  used  with 2.6 header files. Unfortunately, adapting the
code for a 2.6 context will cause it to brak in 2.4 environments.

I am still trying to figure out if there is a clean way to  find  out
which  environment  to use; I would like to avoid having to probe for
the existience of certain header files in the Makefile.

Any ideas are welcome.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
