When make fails, you should be able to see an error message that could  
tell you "why" it failed.
If some .h files are missing, you could search for the corresponding -dev  
package and install it.
Also, the meta-package "build-essential" is helpful when compiling  
packages.

Maybe a package containing firmware files for the network hardware is  
missing in the installation?
