You must "make dep" after "make oldconfig". Then you may build and 
install the wlan-ng package. Usually there is no need to build a whole 
new kernel.

If depmod did not complain while installing the wlan-ng modules then you 
may be running the wrong-versioned kernel--that is, a kernel the wlan-ng 
modules were not built for.

Try repeating "make oldconfig" and "make dep" in the current kernel's 
source directory. Use "uname -r" to get the running kernel's version so 
you know where to go.

Then "make clean", "make config", "make", "make install" (as root) the 
wlan-ng modules and watch depmod's output for errors during install.

Try not to make a new kernel unless you absolutely have to.
