thanks for the quick relply. Well, I understand that the headers are provided with the release -- but what about the release candidates? the last voyage release seems to be 0.8. If you select voayage to install it on a new flash card system, you are looking for long duration fo future operation even in this "frozen" state. So I decided to prepare the system with 0.9rc2. But with 0.9rc2 I selected the kernel version 3.6.9 as of end of 2012 -- is this too new?
Although I don't understand why insisting on the kernel-headers as it could be re-generated by kernel source, but here it is:

out-of-kernel modules are sometimes a must when you have the Realtek network chipset rtl 8168 since the kernel module r8169 has some problems with this chipset. The module r8169 is loaded but the network does not funtion with it. Some people recommend to use the manufacturers provided driver for it -- and this seems to do the job. What is your idea how to solve this situation?
I would contact the manufacture or the related developer to fix the vanilla kernel ASAP. Doing so it would benefit the whole Linux community in a cost-effective way.
