Yes... I discovered this today and must fess up, mea culpa. This is what comes of rushing to reinstall absolutely everything in a day when your N900 throws a memory fault - I neglected to unpackage the modules, headers, flash patch etc this time around, and simply copied the directory into place. So, if you're doing this for the first time don't skip this step either after you untar the files...

Code:
* Gain root access

    ~/MyDocs$ sudo gainroot

  * Install customized power kernel

    # cd wl1251-maemo/binary/kernel-power
    # dpkg -i kernel-power_2.6.28-maemo46-wl1_armel.deb
    # dpkg -i kernel-power-headers_2.6.28-maemo46-wl1_armel.deb
    # dpkg -i kernel-power-modules_2.6.28-maemo46-wl1_armel.deb
    # dpkg -i kernel-power-flasher_2.6.28-maemo46-wl1_armel.deb
