kernel headers

I have the need to provide all the installation headers, for a closed source driver.

I have installed SuSE 8.2 Pro, on a machine, and the kernel is optimized for athlon.

Having tar'd the include directory in /usr/src/linux, the resultant driver when trying to load is refused. The complaint being that it has been compiled on the wrong kernel for the installed version.

Where can I get the correct version for submission ?????????

well it needs to be the same source as the kernel that is installed in your system ( uname -a for details of the current kernel ) the source should normally be included on your distro cd's.

that Is what I thought, and that is what I had done.

The /usr/src/linux is only a link to the installation directory, but the results have got me confused. I have no other source directories installed, and I presume that that is where I should be able to pick up the headers? I believed that I had installed all kernel sources.
I will seek further..
