If the fix worked for you, your kernel seems to identify itself internally
as >= 2.6.8 - good.

Anyhow, your kernel source seems to be unconfigured (wonder how
you could get the driver compiled?). To configure it:
- find the config file describing the running kernel (look at "uname -a"
  output) - I guess its in /boot, called something like
  config*2.6.7-1.494.2.2*
- copy it into /usr/src/linux-2.6.7-1.494.2.2/.config
- cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.7-1.494.2.2; make oldconfig
- If the last command didn't create
    /usr/src/linux-2.6.7-1.494.2.2/include/linux/version.h
  call "make" there and abort it shortly afterwards.
