ieee802.11 will not compile with kernel

I've been having some trouble getting wireless internet to work.

This is the error:

Code:

...
  CC      net/ethernet/eth.o
  CC      net/ethernet/pe2.o
  LD      net/ethernet/built-in.o
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `net/ieee80211/ieee80211_module.o',
needed by `net/ieee80211/ieee80211.o'.  Stop.
make[1]: *** [net/ieee80211] Error 2
make: *** [net] Error 2

Unfortunately, my wireless NIC requires that I have it in the kernel.
I have no idea what would cause this.

I've never encountered this problem, where did you download the driver?
http://ieee80211.sf.net is a pretty good place to go.
