com2.6.15.7-ubuntu1 source compilation error at drivers/usb/net/zd1211/zd1205.o

I want to recompile the kernel so that I can use my verizon evdo card. I have this working beautifully with kubuntu dapper on a p4 dell laptop. now i'm trying on a thinkpad x31.

so i apply the patch and compile the kernel with one change to the default ubuntu kernel config

here's the patch:

I changed in the config was the processor from general 386 to pentium M, thats it. then compile and it exits with an error at:
