Seems to build OK for me (2.6.18-53.1.14.el5-i386) ...

Did it build OK for previous 5.1 kernels?

Do you know where it is picking include/linux/utsname.h from? - it 
should be:

  /lib/modules/2.6.18-53.1.14.el5/build/include/linux/utsname.h

(which is really under /usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-53.1.14.el5-x86_64)

Where does the output of configure say about this?

Jim,

Yes it is getting it from 
/lib/modules/2.6.18-53.1.14.el5/build/include/linux/utsname.h

I had to change the driver configure script :

Original:

if test "$kversion.$kpatchlevel" = "2.6" -a $ksublevel -ge
19; then
  CONFIG_HAVE_INIT_UTSNAME=1

My version:

if test "$kversion.$kpatchlevel" = "2.6" -a $ksublevel -ge
18; then
  CONFIG_HAVE_INIT_UTSNAME=1
