How to compile

["Teilhard Knight" <teilhk@softhome.net>]

I have an AMD64 box and I was looking to install the AMD64 Etch port. Only 
problem with that is that I want either Gnome or preferably KDE to go with 
it, and that port doesn't include those environments. Then I went 32 bit and 
installed the KDE version of i386. Now, I want to compile my driver module 
for my wireless nic. I am ready with everything, except that I do not know 
what packages I should install in Debian in order to be able to compile. I 
tries naively supposing I could compile out of the box and it failed. Could 
you help?
