modversions.h is automatically created when you compile a kernel,
if you select this option.
Loadable module support
Set version information on all symbols for modules
It looks like Debian doesn't use module versions, so you should
be able to edit fa311.c and remove the line that says this.
#include <linux/modversions.h>
If you're cross-compiling for some other, diskless distribution such
as Coyote Linux, it's harder than that. Unless your funds are
extremely limited, you'll be better off buying a better-supported
Ethernet card than going through the hassle of building a new
Coyote kernel.
