Chris,

For Debian and some related distributions, a package kernel-kbuild-2.6-26
may be needed to support driver compiling.  Please check

Also try  from  http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/Intel/Philippe.Vouters/
the alternate  intel-5337EP_secure-2.60.80.0_2009_02_08.tar.bz2
Unpack with:
 tar jxf intel*.tar.bz2
