Well, first of all you'll need to make sure the module in question actually works with the kernel version you are trying to build it against. Kernel APIs do have a tendency to change.
As for technicalities, you may be better off with compiling it out of tree. 1. configure the kernel tree 2. Put the module in a separate directory 3. Create a proper Makefile in that directory 4. Go there, and run make -C /path/to/linux/tree M=`pwd` Or, alternatively, just use the newer kernel in general, if it is at all possible.
