[driverloader] HSF driver install problems

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

you have posted on the DriverLoader list instead of the HSF one. The HSF 
list information is available at:

https://www.linuxant.com/mailman/listinfo/hsflinux/

That kind of error happens when the kernel headers are installed but not 
configured to build 3rd party kernel modules. Since you are using a 
kernel packaged with a Linux distribution, you will probably need to 
install all the configured kernel headers in order to use a generic 
package. On OpenSUSE, you can probably install this with the 'yast -i 
kernel-source' command in a root shell.
