You didn't compile the kernel.  You don't need to install it, but it
should be compiled.  Actually you can run "make all" in the kernel tree
for some time, interrupt it later and see if include/linux/modversions.h
has appeared.  If it's there, you can compile external drivers against it.

This was fixed in the later versions of the driver.  A version from year
2002 could not support 2.6 kernel.  The build system in 2.6 kernels was
radically changed.
