I updated to f12 and dvb_frontend.h is not in
/lib/modules/2.6.31.6-166.fc12.x86_64/source

In fact there are no header files there at all, even though the
kernel-headers and kernel-devel rpms are installed.

I downloaded the complete kernel source tree and built against
that. I had to actually build the kernel first, but then I could build the
pvrusb2.ko module. I successfully rebuilt the cx25840.ko in this tree
without having to build the kernel first.

I expect that the pvrusb2 module  in the 2.6.31.6-166 kernel tree is
already pretty up to date, so it may not even be necessary to build it
separately. Any suggestions from anyone familiar with Fedora 12?
