Hi,Everyone: I have updated the kernel from v2.6.32 to v2.6.36 using my kernel source tree(v2.6.36). so I must provide the new kernel header to the developers of the device driver. How can I get the kernel header from my kernel source tree which the version is v2.6.36?

Thanks very much!

Do yourself and your developers a great service, and do the following: 1) Upgrade to v4.0 (recently released). 2.6.36 is almost 5 years old. 2) Get your driver module in-tree. This has several benefits: a) You don't have to worry anymore about figuring out what kernel APIs changed when you upgrade kernels - the person who changed the API will fix your code for you. b) You can get out of the software distribution business totally. Just ship the device, put a "Works with Linux 4.1 and later!" on the box, and you don't need to worry about providing the driver, the user will get it from their Linux distributor. c) I'm sure Greg KH has a few other good reasons I can't remember because I haven't had my morning caffeine. Greg KH is the person to talk to about how to get your driver in-tree....
