Sony VGNFE21M

I am tryinng to get my wireless card to work. I need to install some kernal
headers which have the dependency of Kbuild.
When I try installing kbuild I get the following error:
cpc3-seve3-0-0-cust864:~# cd /root/Desktop
cpc3-seve3-0-0-cust864:~/Desktop# dpkg -i

Unpacking linux-kbuild-2.6.18 (from linux-kbuild-2.6.18_2.6.18-1_i386.deb)

Errors were encountered while processing:

I have tried redownloading the deb file
I can´t use apt get as I have no internet connection
I can´t find any bug reports or patches.
What should I do now ?
Thanks
Dan
