hi everyone im attempting to compile some drivers for my modem and i have almost everything setup
the problem is that when i try to compile the drivers they look for a file called version.h in the kernel source directory
i downloaded the source and everything is pointing to the correct place but i can't find the version.h file
i can't find it anywhere in the sources any help would be appreciated

Are you sure you have the link from a plain vanilla
/usr/src/linux to /usr/src/linux-2.4.31? Many times that will be a problem.
Otherwise it will be helpful to post the full exact error message.

I ran into something like this before.  The solution was to run the makefile for the kernel.  I think I ran either make menuconfig or make deps in the kernel source directory and then version.h appeared.
