i guess the header files included in the kernel tree don't match with
the version of the kernel you're using.
as default, kernel-source package includes the configuration for the
default kernel (i.e. 2.4.18-4GB).

i recommend to replace the kernel with the default one instead of smp.
(it happens often that the installer chooses an smp kernel on pentium
 4 is found.)

or, if you insist to use the current smp kernel, copy the version.h
and autoconf.h under /boot directory (renamed with vmlinuz. prefix) to
/usr/src/linux/include/linux directory and reconfigure the driver,
clean and reinstall it.
