I seem to remember that ieee80211-source fell through a crack as far as 
module-assistant was concerned around the time Sarge went stable; all fixed 
in Etch now, of course.

In my case I fixed it by manually adding the name of the package 
(ieee80211-source) to the list of packages 
in /usr/share/modass/compliant.list.

Give that a try; hope it works for you,
