notice however that the debian kernel already seems to have the ieee
modules integrated! in any case I continued trying to build the
ipw3945 modules but end up with this error message:

/bin/sh: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
/bin/sh: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
sed: can't read net/ieee80211.h: No such file or directory
/bin/sh: [[: not found

That is bash script marked as /bin/sh not running under bash (you probably
have different shell as /bin/sh, which if correct). It is a bug of the
script, check if it was reported already. for now, you can edit the script
and change first line to:
#!/bin/bash

if I try to set that variable, i get further error messages. I take
it there's some kind of mismatch between the versions of ieee80211 in
the debian-standard kernel and the one I installed with the ieee
module package I installed. however removing the latter and
reinstalling the original kernel gives the same result. it seems to
me that ipw3945 is asking me to have a kernel with a different version
of ieee80211 installed in it -- but I don't see how that could
possibly happen.

does this make any sense? anyone else had this issue?

I wouldn't do anything before fixing the script, the shell incompatibility
may cause all those problems.
