You also need to compile against the correct matching source tree.  The 
driver doesn't care what compiler you use, but the kernel build system 
cares that you match kernel versions and match compilers against what was 
used to build the kernel that you are running.

Are you *sure* you compiled against the right set of kernel headers? 
The build system inserts that "2.6.9" into the version magic string, and 
the only way it can really get that is from the kernel source tree you 
compiled against.
