Fedora may have heavily changed kernel sources.

You need kernel sources not kernel headers. Kernel module (which is
nokia_dku2) is not something to be outside the kernel.

Two notes:
- you said you have symbian phone which in companion with gnokii is
incompatible with gnapplet driver
- as our docs say userspace driver is preffered to kernel driver

Sure. Nokia 6100 is not compatible with Nokia 6100. For this phone you
should use either DKU-5 or CA-42 cable (or the clone rather to have it
working under Linux).

That's expected behaviour. See above.

Just like the docs say. Not much else to say.

take care,
