F17? Well, that's probably the issue. What you're seeing is an attempt
to walk down the various /lib/modules/2.* and /lib/modules/3.* trees to 
install the driver. If you're on F22 or F23, you probably don't HAVE
2.* or 3.* kernel trees. You have 4.x kernel trees.

You could try changing that line from:

	for dir in [23].*; do

To:

	for dir in [234].*; do

That would include the 4.x kernel trees. I don't know if the module will
work, though as it seems to be written for quite old kernels. YMMV
