Talk about good timing :)

Ok, will do that; I generally download the kernel-source debs that 
unpack at /usr/source/kernel-source<version>, and the build procedure 
and install works the same; I will however link it to /usr/sourve/linux 
if it's necessary (as I generally use make-kpgk to make a deb out of the 
kernel it probably isn't: it installs the modules exactly where you 
mention bellow).

Thanks a lot! I will do everything you said  (if I need help with the 
makenod I will get back to you ;) ), I'm much happier now :)
