Hello
I tried to install the same wifi card some days ago.
I got through the MAKE issue you are talking about and the solution I found is explained in another post that is repeated just after.
After that, I saw a new error during a modprobe "error inserting rt61" That I resolved with the good drivers I think. This post could help :

For the wifi card, I found some good debian posts :
[
forum.debian-fr.org]
[
forums.debian.net]
"[
forum.ubuntu-fr.org];
I can't really remember which one I used but I think that I have tried the last one and that's all of them (and others in Google) show the good way.
But I encountered a new message during modprobe "invalid format" that killed my hope. I founf a post that talked about using the good gcc version during the make but I did not know the "gcc -v" command at that moment. So I changed the wifi card for an atheros one.
I think I was very near to the success but as a newbie it was too hard for me. May be someone or yourself could find the final way to help you.

Hello everybody,
Sorry for my "frenchie" english and for my poor explanations (I used Elive several days afo and not at the moment).
Thanks for the wonderful Distro Elive that I have installed for the first mother's computer.
While trying to get through wifi I encountered the same error, about "build not found" or something like that during a "make".
I had kernel-headers-etc... in Synaptic, installed and uninstalled kernel-source-etc... apart for some purpose.
Anyway I got the message about the "build not found" even with ever ln -s suggested.
I did some cleaning in /usr/lib just to have a clear thinking of the situation. So I delete the directory under /usr/lib called "kernel-source-etc" that was already empty and that was beside the similar directory "kernel-headers-etc" that is full and with the build but was "not found".
With no hope I tried a last "make" befre installing a new distro ... and it has worked !!!!! clap
My analysis "a posteriori" is that the make sought in the "source" directory by default and couldn't find anything in it because the active kernel is the "headers" one. . Without any "source", the "make" target the "headers"(I am a newbie so apologize my "elucubrations" (french but nice and tortuous word)).
Thanks for those who will do a try to confirm for the others the effectiveness of the proposal. I have no Elive in the hand at the moment to confirm.
