Dear Mr Md Shafi,
I tried every thing you said.
As advised by you I removed the widows device drive and ndiswrapper.
i down loaded latest compat driver 2011-06-28.
when I ran command "make" there were errors.
Just in case, there is no point in removing ndiswrapper until you
successfully compile and install the native driver.
I attach various outputs of dmesg and also the error message I got when I
ran the command "make".
The compile error was the only thing you needed to send, along with the
versions on compat-wireless and the kernel.
I have submitted a patch for that compile error. It only happens
because Debian backports netdev_name() to the kernel in which it's
normally not present.
I hope my patch will appear in compat-wireless soon. In the meantime,
you can apply it manually with the patch command. The patch is attached.
compat-wireless-2011-06-28 has another compile error, which was fixed in
compat-wireless-2011-06-29, so please test
compat-wireless-2011-06-29 with the attached patch.
when i run "make" the .o files get generted from
the kernel 2.6.33 and onwards like compat_2.6.33.o; 2.6.34.o and
corresponding .ko files etc.
Please don't top-post and don't quote irrelevant text!

compat: use macro for netdev_name() to support Debian kernel 2.6.32-5
From: Pavel Roskin <pro...@gnu.org>
Signed-off-by: Pavel Roskin <pro...@gnu.org>
Debian backports netdev_name as a function. As we cannot test if a
function is present, use an equivalent macro.
