I found a solution:
- copy acconfig.h, aclocal.h, acobject.h from
  /usr/src/linux-2.6.29-rc7/drivers/acpi/acpica/ to the build directory

- add 
	#include "acconfig.h"
	#include "aclocal.h"
	#include "acobject.h"
  to the includes

Then it compiles fine.

And HEHOOOO!!! I can activate my wwan without going through windows.
Fine, very fine.


I guess now it is time to play around with the stamina/speed modus ;-)


Best wishes

Norbert
