Getting error : make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.31-20-generic/build: No such file or directory on Ubuntu 9.1

Question

When trying to install my WiFi card's driver on Ubuntu 9.1, I run the make command and get the following error:

make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.31-20-generic/build: No such file or directory

Any ideas how to fix this?
