Maybe you should drop the leet attitude, then. Im simply judging from
your email adress.

You need the kernel sources installed to be able to compile the
additional modules. I my guess is correct, you don't want to compile
your own kernel, so this is what you need to do:
1. get the kernel sources:
apt-get install kernel-source-2.6.7
2. unpack the kernel sources:
cd /usr/src
tar xvfj kernel-source-2.6.7.tar.bz2
3. copy the kernel config and compile a kernel
cp /boot/config-2.6.7-1-686-smp /usr/src/kernel-souce-2.6.7/.config
cd /usr/src/kernel-souce-2.6.7
make oldconfig
make
4. link the modules/.../build to you kernel sources
ln -s /usr/src/kernel-souce-2.6.7 /lib/modules/2.6.7-1-686-smp/build
ln -s /usr/src/kernel-souce-2.6.7 /usr/src/linux
Now the compile should work
BTW, maybe you should give KnoppMyth a try:

That is, if all you want is a working mythbox, If you want to learn
linux, go ahead the way you are heading now.

P.S.
Oops, thought I read "debian" there, but it was in the next message's
header. But judging from your kernel name I guess it's still debian.
