It's a symbolic link to the directory where the DSL-N kernel was built. You might need the 2.6.12 kernel sources to build that module.

So if I get the 2.6.12 source, does that have the directory structure needed, or am I still going to have the same build directory problem?

It has everything needed - some modules might require you to finish the configuration first though (copy the DSL-N .config to the root of the new dir, type "make menuconfig", and exit without doing anything).

You don't have to extract it where the "build" link points to; just unpack it somewhere with space, it takes about 250mb, and then remove the old link and create a new one (ln -s /path/to/target /lib/modules/2.6.12/build)
