Please confirm:
  Adding   -I/usr/src/linux/include   to the compile line allows the driver
  update set to compile without errors on the new Red Hat 7.0 release.

  Without this update the compiler uses the include files in
  /usr/include/linux, which are incorrect for most kernnels.

[[ OK, they changed from an include file tree that was usually correct, to
one that is almost always broken.  The previous scheme wasn't perfect, but
it worked and was standard practice.  I did support cleaning up
/usr/include/linux, but what happened was "I want your stuff out so
that I can get my bloat in". ]]
