Yes. You are right. I actually mentioned this on a different thread: I eventually found out that the kernel was compiled with -mregparam=3, and the module was not. This option seems to have been added to the default config and/or Red Hat's build setup sometime before the current kernel release, but after the start of the 2.6 series...

that means your makefile indeed is utterly bust. A correct makefile for
an external module correctly and automatically inherits all the CFLAGs
used by the kernel.
Yes. As I've (also) already said elsewhere, I knew that, really. The current build setup fails to do this partly for historical reasons, partly because the driver also supports different OSes. (And is still expected to build correctly with Linux 2.4, not just 2.6.)

Care to point to a full URL of your module so that we can help you by
sending patches?

Official (info page) URL is http://itifg.sourceforge.net/

The most recent source is probably ftp://ftp.gom.com/pub/ITI-FG/itifg-8.2.1-11.tar.gz.
