Does this file exists in your installation?
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include/linux/tracepoint.h ?

Yes, but, look:

cd /usr/src/linux

grep -i tracepoint .config

# CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS is not set

Do I need to set it to yes?

No. You should not manually edit any kernel config file (the
compat-wireless module should be built against a config matching your
running kernel, not a massaged version of it) and what is in
/usr/src/linux is irrelevant , because that is not your running
kernel.

The relevant config is probably /boot/config-`uname -r`, but, please
do *not* modify it.

It should be in /proc/config.gz. (/boot/config-* is an Ubuntuism.)

I already wrote - your best bet is simply deleting all the 'error
redefintion' parts from net/compat-2.6.28.h, since your kernel tree is
somewhere between 2.6.27 and 2.6.28 . (and also delete some part of
net/compat-2.6.28.c when possible later linker error arises).
