All of the modules that come with stock kernels are included with the Debian 
kernel binaries. There should be no need to recompile. In the rare event that 
you need third party modules, the Debian package "module-assistant" does 
everything for you including setting up the build environment and installing 
the module.

Perhaps if you provided more info about your situation I could help you solve 
the issue? I know quite a bit about the Debian module autoload system, etc.
