Using kernel makefiles for building external modules seems to work fine
with Linux 2.4.x, too. It just needed a minor change for
driver/modules/Makefile. Now "make" and "make install" should do the
proper thing for both 2.4.x and 2.5.x. Old "make pccard" etc. can still
be used with 2.4.x (and 2.2.x) kernel. I haven't tested using kernel
makefiles with Linux 2.2.x. If it worked, Host AP Makefile could be
simplified a lot.. Removing support for Linux 2.2.x would also solve
this ;-), but there has been some requests for keeping it still around.
