[driverloader] Build errors running dldrconfig against 2.6.10-9-amd64-k8 kernel

[David Leaman]

Oh, you're right. I didn't notice that. Hrm. It seems that installing from
http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/debian-pure64-3.4/ and
http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/gcc-3.4/ actually installs gcc4 by
default. Okay, well I did `ln -sf gcc-3.4 /usr/src/gcc`
And it works! Awesome. I can now `iwconfig` and see the interface, and I
can see the local wireless network!
Thank you for your help, Jonathan. I look forward to giving you my 20
bucks soon.
