The standard place for files needed to build third party modules is /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build. kernel.org kernels promote this location for several years already. To build 2.6 kernel modules, you just need to do: make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd` modules assuming current directory contains kbuild compatible Makefile and the module you want to build.
