Error compiling tw68-v2 module (module_param / linux3.2)

Error compiling tw68-v2 module (module_param / linux3.2)

[Teun]

I'm having problems compiling the tw68-v2. I looked up the code from the 
error messages, but I don't know anything about making linux driver modules.
I can't find a lot about the module_param function, at least, not why 
this would be wrong.

Can anyone give any comment on this?

Thanks in advance!

yep, you are missing header linux/module.h. please pull again from gitorious.
