Use the package manager (urpmi at the command line, or the graphical
frontend in the control center). Install the package kernel-headers,
or, if it is not available because the headers are in the kernel source
package, install that one. The version must be that of the kernel you
are currently running. Probably you will have the driver where the
headers are (by editing the Makefile for example, or by cerating a
symlink /usr/src/linux pointing to the real source directory).
