For some reason if you run make with 2.6.17 kernel all files in 
/driver/modules directory are _deleted_. But if do the following change 
to the Makefile:

-       $(MAKE) -C $(KERNEL_PATH) SUBDIRS=$(PWD)/driver/modules \
-               MODVERDIR=$(PWD)/driver/modules modules
+       $(MAKE) -C $(KERNEL_PATH) SUBDIRS=$(PWD)/driver/modules

The files are not deleted and the compiling starts and at this point you 
can see the messages:

#error Host AP driver was added into Linux 2.6.14.
#error The version used in the kernel tree should be used instead of this
#error external release which is only maintained for old kernel versions.
