RE: Distributing drivers independent of the kernel source tree

[Heater, Daniel]

That's true for installing modules, but I'm wondering about getting a
standalone module compiled. I.e., what is a reliable method for locating the
include files for the kernel?

I can find references on the web where this has been discussed in the past,
but I have not found a resolution.
