errors while attempting to run "make"

I am trying to build the latest version of wlan-ng (0.2.2) on a debian 
sarge system running kernel 2.6.8-2.  after running "make config" 
(accepting all of the defaults) I get the following errors when I run 
"make" :

make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.8'

make: *** [all] Error 2


so it appears to be having problems including linux/hardirq.h.  A locate 
on my system shows it in two locations:

/usr/include/asm/hardirq.h
/usr/include/linux/hardirq.h


so I edit src/include/wlan/wlan_compat.h and change the following line from:

#  include <linux/hardirq.h>

to:

#  include </usr/include/linux/hardirq.h>


and re-run "make" and I get the following errors:

so I change the include statement to point to /usr/include/asm/hardirq.h 
and I get the following error when running "make" :

Any help to get me past this hurdle would be extremely appreciated.  I 
am trying to build this so that I can get support for my D-Link DWL-650, 
which seems to work great using the auditor live cd and the wlan-ng modules.

Thanks
