If I recall correctly, I had this same problem with madwifi on my
machines, and it's not a bug in dkms at all, it's cargo-culting a broken
dkms.conf (which I did as well). Fixing your dkms.conf like so will
make it actually build for the version you requested, rather than the
running version:
--- dkms_source_tree/dkms.conf 2012-02-07 02:56:37.000000000 +0000
+++ madwifi-0.9.4/dkms.conf 2010-12-04 22:33:11.000000000 +0000
