I'd use module-assistant to compile the module. It will download all
of the kernel headers you require, the source package etc and then
create a .deb file with module in it.
You can use the interface just by running "m-a" (or module-assistant)
or just run:
# m-a a-i qc-usb
(module-assistant auto-install qc-usb)
This will then download all required packages, compile the module,
package it and then install the package. If you change kernels, you
just run that command again and it'll do the same.

The package in Etch and Sid is version 0.6.6, which is a little bit
newer than what you're trying to compile too.
