These were no compile errors, but depmod warnings (from the Makefile).

your lsmod / syslog below show a successfully loaded at76c503-rfmd. What's
the error case? As said before, check CONFIG_NET_RADIO in your .config.
With CONFIG_ATMEL unset, you must IMHO manually configure
CONFIG_FW_LOADER by choosing
Device Drivers / Generic Driver Options / Hotplug Firmware Support
to get the Berlios driver compiled.
