I never tried to compile just a module - apart from letting vmware compile
its own modules, for which they provide a script that pretty much
automates it for you.  I have a friend who is more adept at compiling than
me whom I once watched trying (unsuccessfully) to compile a kernel module.

compiled modules as part of a kernel compile - "make modules."  I can
probably help you get your USB card reader working under DOS, yes.  At
least mine works fine (can't format, but can read and write) under DOS.
