Well I found the underling problem. I have created a way to choose the modules and I've updated the
docs. There was a problem on src/Makefile patch that makes the choose impossible. Solved on svn
waiting to the next upload if Enrico is agree with this solution.


<linux-wlan-ng.README>
 Building kernel modules for stock debian kernels:
- ------------------------------------------------

Run m-a in order to build linux-wlan-ng-modules.

If you want to choose wich type of modules will be built. You have to :

$cp /usr/src/modules/linux-wlan-ng-source/debian/config-for-lwng /usr/src/modul

Edit this new file choosing the modules you want to build, for example, if
you want to build only the usb driver:

# /usr/src/modules/linux-wlan-ng-source/debian/config-foo
# This script is sourced by the Configure script, when running in
# noninteractive mode.

if [ "$BUILD_MODULES" = "n" -o "$BUILD_UTILS" = "n" ] ; then
        # Just building the utilities. Kernel source may not be present;
        # don't fail.
        fail () {
                echo "Not failing since we are building only the utilities"
        }
fi

LINUX_SRC=$KSRC
PCMCIA_SRC=$PSRC
PRISM2_PCMCIA="n"
PRISM2_PLX="n"
PRISM2_PCI="n"
PRISM2_USB=$BUILD_MODULES
UTILS=$BUILD_UTILS
TARGET_ROOT_ON_HOST=$(pwd)/debian/tmp/
#EOF
