assuming you have a kernel source or just kernel headers in
/usr/local/src/linux-2.6.7-1 ( or whatever its called )
cd /lib/modules/2.6.7-1/
ln -s ../../../usr/local/src/linux-2.6.7-1 build
2.6.7-1 must match exactly

when the other (local-in-town) dude played with this problem ... we just
did:
apt-get install kernel-headers-2.6.7-blah
( note .. no kernel sources .. no patches )
veriy the link for /lib/modules/2.6.7-1/build
cd /usr/local/src/ndiswrapper-blah
make && make install
but since the dude wasted a day on it ... i told um to
give up and use the kernel.org tree after the first 2 failures
but a day later ... it was still off the air ..
( i think he got discouragd and went off to something else )
and the deb ndiswrappers didnt work either on his box ...
ndiswrapper works fine .. other than limited functionality due to
the wrapper around ms drivers
