There is not enough information in your post.  What is the version of 
the kernel you are compiling for?  What is the exact version of 
compat-wireless (the filename you downloaded)?  What is the version of make?

I tried to reproduce your problem with compat-wireless-2.6.39-1-sn 
compiling to Linux 2.6.24 with GNU make 3.8.1, but could not reproduce it.

Please don't top-post.  Top-posting kills an intelligent discussion.

>>> config.mk:26:*****missing "endif"........

If you actually read the text you quoted you would have realized that  
the message comes from the make program that fails to interpret  
config.mk.  The compiler is not involved at this stage.

There is no "elseif" or even "elsif" anywhere in  
compat-wireless-2.6.39, and if GNU make failed to understand a  
keyword, it would have reported it differently:

$ cat makefile
ifeq (0,0)
elseif
$ make
makefile:2: *** missing separator.  Stop.

BSD make would stop of the first like of the compat-wireless Makefile  
without even getting to config.mk:

$ bmake
bmake: "/home/proski/src/compat-wireless-2.6.39-1-sn/Makefile" line 1:  
Need an operator
