The path I had for the linux source was /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-18.9 and the
path I had for the modules was /lib/modules/2.4.20-18.9.

the EXTRAVERSION was uncommented in Makefile.

A little more information about my linux setup is that I have two kernels
installed, the older one being 2.4.20-8.  I installed the newer kernel
using an rpm and I got the source code for the new kernel and ran make
oldconfig on it. Than I tried to install wlan-ng.  Any other ideas about
what might be wrong?
