When I installed AMR winmodem driver into kernel, I did a symlink from the
actual kernel source dir (something like 2.4.20-4 and SuSE was in the name
somewhere) to /usr/src/linux
ln -s /usr/src/linux2.4.20-4GB /usr/src/linux (not sure which dir goes
first, have forgotten, type ln --help and it will tell you)
