Looks like you've got the .o instead of the .ko files under
/lib/modules/... ?

Please post the output of
	make clean; make; make install
	find /lib/modules/2.6.8-gentoo-r3 -name "at76*" -ls

Do you have a Rules.make file in the topdir of the kernel source
(aka /lib/modules/2.6.8-gentoo-r3/build/)?
