Seems to build OK for me (2.6.18-53.1.14.el5-i386) ...
Did it build OK for previous 5.1 kernels?
Do you know where it is picking include/linux/utsname.h from? - it
should be:
/lib/modules/2.6.18-53.1.14.el5/build/include/linux/utsname.h
(which is really under /usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-53.1.14.el5-x86_64)
Where does the output of configure say about this?

Yes it is getting it from
/lib/modules/2.6.18-53.1.14.el5/build/include/linux/utsname.h
<br>
<br>
I had to change the driver configure script :<br>
<br>
Original:<br>
<br>
if test "$kversion.$kpatchlevel" = "2.6" -a $ksublevel -ge 19; then<br>
CONFIG_HAVE_INIT_UTSNAME=1<br>
<br>
My version:<br>
<br>
if test "$kversion.$kpatchlevel" = "2.6" -a $ksublevel -ge 18; then<br>
CONFIG_HAVE_INIT_UTSNAME=1<br>
