No.. I didn't see that in the README.
So, now I get this:

% depmod -a 2.4.23
% modprobe prism54
/lib/modules/2.4.23/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/prism54/prism54.o: init_module: No such device
/lib/modules/2.4.23/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/prism54/prism54.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.23/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/prism54/prism54.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.23/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/prism54/prism54.o: insmod prism54 failed
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
      You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg

dmesg says "Loaded prism54 driver, version 1.0.2.2"
Am I getting any closer?

PS. Would it make sense to add the following line to the modules-install target in the Makefile?
        depmod -a $(KVER)
