Hi

Kind of as a plan B to my post about trying to set up a cross-compilation toolchain on my desktop PC, I thought I'd try setting up the capability to compile drivers right on the 'plug itself. 

Code:
apt-get install kernel-package linux-headers build-essential ctags libv4l

No joy - there are lots of choices for linux-headers:

Code:
Package linux-headers is a virtual package provided by:
  linux-headers-2.6.28-16-versatile 2.6.28-16.55
  linux-headers-2.6.28-16-ixp4xx 2.6.28-16.55

  linux-headers-2.6.28-11 2.6.28-11.42
You should explicitly select one to install.

None of these really seems to make sense since uname-rvp gives:

Code:
2.6.30.2 #11 PREEMPT Wed Jul 22 19:53:31 MDT 2009 unknown

Can you see 2.6.30 in the list above?  All 2.6.28.

Huh

Yours hopefully
