@aldebx,Matt,

I did as you both said with the driver and linux-headers.  Upon make,
it'll error because net/mac80211/ieee80211_rate.h is not included the
headers package (bug? It would've made compiling the driver _way_
easier).  So then I installed the linux-source package and used make
KSRC=path_to_kernel.  I was met with the need to copy over a bunch of
files (.config from /boot, scripts/mod/modpost, Module.symvers, and
forced to make prepare (there were probably more files that needed
copied over, but make will error saying which are missing, you just have
to merge the missing files from the headers package to the linux-source
package (preserving relative paths)).  After that, depmod, and removing
the module from the kernel, I discovered that the old module in
ubuntu/wireless would be loaded instead of the newer module on
subsequent modprobes... so I had to remove it too&depmod.  After all
that, things are working peachy.  This was alot of work though for a
simple module update...  At the very least perhaps fix the header
inclusion so as to make others testing of the driver easier?  Does that
require waiting for gusty-updates on the 31st?
