USB wireless networking on new ibook

[J.T.Blaylock]

I'm having a bit of trouble compiling my kernel. I followed the  
directions at  
http://www.yellowdoglinux.com/support/solutions/ydl_general/ 
kernels.shtml but cannot get the 'make modules_install' step to work,  
without the apostrophes, obviously. The error is as follows:

INSTALL drivers/net/3c59x.ko
cp: cannot stat 'drivers/net/3c59x.ko': No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [drivers/net/3c59x.ko] Error 1
make: *** [_modinst_] Error 2

My source code came from kernel.org and I am using Yellow Dog 3.0.1.  
Does anybody know what's wrong?
