/lib/modules/2.6.12-9-686/build missing

[Paul Harkink]

When trying to build drivers for the ieee80211 (or any other module, for that
matter), i get

root@Phaptop:/home/pharkink/ieee80211-1.0.3# make
Checking in /lib/modules/2.6.12-9-686/build/ for ieee80211 components...

I have the /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.12-9-686 packet, but there doesn't seem to
be a 'build' directory there to symlink to.

linux-kernel-headers is not used for building modules.
