After spent some time trying to setup Hostapd on Asus Nano 10 rtl8192cu, I never get to work properly and buy another USB Hi fi dongle.
As it make use of some files, I wrote this for archive purposes.
apt-get install linux-headers
ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-3.4.104-bananian/arch/arm /usr/src/linux-headers-3.4.104-bananian/arch/armv7l

Haven’t tried the tarball provided by the op but you could use the source tree from LeMaker
1.Clone the kernel sources from LeMaker’s git to /usr/src directory
git clone –depth=1 https://github.com/LeMaker/linux-bananapi.git /usr/src/linux-bpi
2.Copy over the running kernel’s .config file to the above source directory.
zcat /proc/config.gz > /usr/src/linux-bpi/.config
3.Copy over Module.symvers file to the source directory: Bananian Module.symvers
3a. Case the enviromentvariable arch is not arm, but armv7l, I created a symlink in the sourcefolder with ln -s /usr/src/linux-bpi/arch/arm /usr/src/linux-bpi/arch/armv7l
4.from a terminal cd into /usr/src/linux-bpi and run the commands(which prepares the sources for compiling out-of-tree modules)
make menuconfig
make prepare
make scripts
5.Create a symlink in /lib/modules/3.4.90 called “build” and pointing to /usr/src/linux-bpi
cd into /lib/modules/3.4.90
ln -s /usr/src/linux-bpi build
