Congratulations, you are the first to file a bug report against linux 2.6.15 :)

Could you tell us exactly what you do to build the module, and check if this
is not a bug in m-a or your module ?

The official recomended way of building modules is to build inside the module
tree with KSRC=/lib/modules/2.6.15-1-686/build, is this the way you do it ?
Did it work for the official 2.6.14-[12] debian kernels ? Did it work for
another kernel ?
