Hi Jerry,

Reinstalling the system won't help.

I used packages.debian.org to figure this out and followed the solution
listed here:
http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=62877&sid=fa12a2b8afd8827ef9ce71e8826d049f&start=15

Have you installed the package dkms?

This in turn should install the package linux-kbuild-3.2 which includes
the needed scripts.

Sincerely,
Kailash
