Help with vendor driver, headers?


Please help. I have a gun and I am about to blow my brains out.
Here's the issue...
I am installing netmos 9865 PCI to serial port driver. I do a 'make' and I get this error

/lib/modules/2.6.26-2-686/build: No such file or directory. Stop.

sure enough, there is no build directory. After reading for DAYS I found it may be a header issue. So I did an apt-get install linux-headers-2-6.26-2-686 That did not help since I already have the latest version.

What else should I try?

When replying please provide suggestions like you are talking to an idiot. I have limited experience with this stuff.

Thanks.
