I have installed linux-source and ndiswrapper-source. I tried to get
modules using info on wiki
http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/InstallDebian. My /usr/src folder is as follows

I tried make modules and got error as follows.

   cp $templ `echo $templ | sed -e 's/_KVERS_/2.6.15/g'` ; \

I would like to know where I am going wrong. How to make modules and utils.

It may be worth looking at the Sarge install instructions http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/InstallDebianSarge . They are simpler and use a stock kernel. Its easy to go wrong trying to compile a special kernel. I can see no reason why these instructions would not work in unstable too.
