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.
