This is because you haven't got the build-essential package installed. 
Ubuntu by default doesn't include build tools, including make.

If you look at packages.ubuntu.com and search for build essentials you 
can see what the dependencies are. you'll need to install all of those 
packages, and they are all on the cd.

You won't be able to compile the driver until you have a) the build 
tools b) the kernel headers.

Thankfully you probably won't ever have to do this again. I'm sorry 
Ubuntu is being brain damaged and making you install dependencies manually.
