Problem number one, fortunately not fatal.

This is a debian-packaged kernel, isn't it?

This indicates you are building against a pristine kernel tree that 
was never actually compiled -- the module versioning information is not 
present.  This information is needed to build linux-wlan-ng.

Actually, this isn't a linux-wlan-ng problem -- we use the kernel's own 
build system to compile our modules, so if the kernel is in an unsane 
state, the build will break.

2.6 is a lot less forgiving than 2.4 when it comes to out-of-tree 
modules.. because the kbuild system does a lot of extra work that goes 
beyond merely compiling, especially if module versioning is enabled.
