dave at ampet~$ apt-cache search ipw3945
ieee80211-headers-2.6.17-2 - 802.11 (wireless) network stack headers for
Linux 2.6.17-2
ieee80211-source - Source for the 802.11 (wireless) network stack for
Linux

dave at ampet:~$ apt-cache show ieee80211-headers-2.6.17-2
Package: ieee80211-headers-2.6.17-2
(crap removed)
Description: 802.11 (wireless) network stack headers for Linux 2.6.17-2
 This package contains the kernel headers for the 802.11 (wireless)
network
 stack.
 .
 This package contains the kernel headers for 2.6.17-2.
 .
 This package contains the headers needed to built other modules (like
ipw2100,
 ipw2200, or ipw3945).

But more importantly:
dave at ampet:~$ apt-cache show ieee80211-modules-2.6.17-2-686
(crap removed)
Description: 802.11 (wireless) network stack module for Linux
2.6.17-2-686
 This package contains the kernel module for the 802.11 (wireless)
network
 stack.
 .
 This package contains the compiled kernel module for 2.6.17-2-686.


Try installing those packages before compiling your own?
