    Angry kernel-headers problem

    hi all,
    I got my debian and now it's all fine except for just ONE thing. I cant compile my modem driver (linmodem) because i've got two different types of kernel-image and kernel-headers. When i configure the driver it says you have a different version of headers and it does not match the running kernel
    . Can anyone please please tell me how to get this right. My running kernel is

    2.6.16-2-686

    I searched the debian package list and couldn't find the matching headers for the kernel version.

    linux-headers-2.6.16-2-686 should be the one you are looking for

    Hi,

    To install the kernel-headers that match with your kernel you can use apt-get:

    Code:
    apt-get install kernel-headers-`uname –r`
