Here's what I have used that works quite well. Taken from the lwn.net
articles on porting to 2.5/2.6:


ifneq ($(KERNELRELEASE),)
obj-m := usbnet.o

else
KDIR := /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build
PWD := $(shell pwd)

default:
$(MAKE) -C $(KDIR) SUBDIRS=$(PWD) modules
endif


The only item to change would be the 'obj-m := usbnet.o'. That's the
module that you want built.
