4. prepare the right ##Makefile## for compiling (don't ask me how I found the right syntax and everything else - I just found one working solution here: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/compiling-linux-kernel-module.html; You need a) at least the kernel headers and b) the suitable compilers and tools (gcc, make etc. - full source is possibly not necessary, but I had it installed too; in case of trouble consult the mentioned adress - everything about compiling modules is explained right there, THX to the authors!)

If it works with other distribution, I would like to know about, if it's possible. THX!

The only "nice to have" thing on the mentioned above laptop, what wasn't working out of the box (with Kubuntu 8.04 since beta, kernel 2.6.24) was the SD and MM card reader.
The next important step was to try openSuse 11 beta live (kernel 2.6.25) - **everything was working out of the box!!!**
Because my HP 2510p is working quite good with Kubuntu (not even restarting necessary with his great support for s2ram and s2disk...) I would like to stay with this distro.
Finally, I decided to compile - kernel, if necessary, or the module. But it would be my first time, I have compiled the kernel. So I was a little bit scared to loose my stable system... Now can I say, compiling the whole kernel wasn't necessary. It was only one small file... The solution for the problem on **Kubuntu 8.04** using **official kernel source 2.6.25.1** from http://kernel.org was (step by step):
1) download
##wget http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.25.1.tar.bz2##

##vi ricoh_driver/Makefile##
1) add the folowing content to the ##Makefile##:
##
obj-m = foo.o
KVERSION = $(shell uname -r)
all:
make -C /lib/modules/$(KVERSION)/build M=$(PWD) modules
clean:
make -C /lib/modules/$(KVERSION)/build M=$(PWD) clean
##
1) save the ##Makefile##
1) do make in the directory with the file:
##cd ricoh_driver
make##
1) copy the new driver file (##ricoh_mmc.ko##) into ##modules## folder:
##cp ricoh_mmc.ko /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/kernel/drivers/mmc/host/##
1) as a precaution reload all driver around:

Additions:
The only "nice to have" thing on the mentioned above laptop, what wasn't working out of the box (with Kubuntu 2008.04 since beta, kernel 2.6.24) was the SD and MM card reader.
Some ##dmesg## output on loading the needed modules (##sdhci, ricoh-mmc, mmc-block## etc.) told, that the hardware is present and identified by modules, but there was no reaction, if I've inserted a card (SD or MMC). Manual mounting was not possible too, because there was no device.
==Investigation==
From time to time I've tried some sources about this (or not this) issue:
But without success... Then I've found some words about the newest change in the kernel 2.6.25:

But no success until now...
Maybe the newest change in the kernel 2.6.25 helps:
//**important:**// Linux can use the card reader - with openSuse 11 beta live it is working out of the box!!!
