via VT6656 wifi module under kernel >2.6.32

via VT6656 wifi module under kernel >2.6.32

Hi guys,
We widely use Zotac GF9300-G-E in our appliances based on linux. There is internal usb wifi module (via VT6656) in this motherboard.
While upgrading linux kernel (to version 2.6.37) of our appliances we faced such problem:

Code:

driver (VT6656_linux_src_v1.20.03_x86) of wifi module refuse to compile:
CC [M] /home/kernel/2.6.37.6-rpn1.7/via/VT6656_linux_src_v1.20.03_x86/driver/main_usb.o

We had no issue doing this under kernels <=2.6.32.
Please, help us with our problem.
