Compiling the DFE 530tx+ driver



I'm still trying to install that DFE 530tx+ Dlink driver.  I unpacked the .deb kernel-headers file and it created: /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.2.12
I symlinked /usr/src/linux > kernel-headers-2.2.12
but afterwards when I tried the compile command again:
gcc -DMODVERSIONS -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c via3043.c
I get a bunch of these errors like this one:
/usr/include/linux/modversions.h:30: linux/modules/vfatfs_syms.ver: No such file or directory
 
The /usr/include/linux/modversions.h file contains a bunch of these lines:
# include/linux/modules/"the various files"
The directory it's trying to get to is:
/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.2.12/include/linux/modules/
 
The readme file that came with the source code tells me to do these commands before I try to compile:
"make config"    "make dep"       "make zlilo"
But they all come up with this error.
make: No rule to make target config. Stop.
I read through the make manuel and determined that for those commands to work I need to write a makefile.  Will this fix my problem?? 
What do I need to do to compile the driver source now?
 
Thanks,
Arlo
