I am having trouble installing iwlagn from the recent compat-wireless. My system 
is Ubuntu 8.10 running kernel 2.6.36-1. The reason is that iwlcore.ko does not 
get build and installed in the update modules folder which, of course, leads 
unresolved symbols. Here is a short log

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.36-1-generic'

So no iwlcore.ko at this stage.

This is after make install

stecklum@extragalactix:~/System/src/compat-wireless-2010-12-12$ find . -name 
iwlcore.ko -print
stecklum@extragalactix:~/System/src/compat-wireless-2010-12-12$

and consequently the module is not in the update module folder. Thus, upon 
modprobe iwlagn the original kernel module will be loaded which, of course, 
lacks the new symbols.
