IMHO that means that you are currently running kernel 3.0.0-12 which is 
from 11.10 IIRC. Reboot to the 3.2.0-29-generic kernel and the Nvidia 
driver should be working again. However if it is intentional for some 
reason that you are running the old kernel, you should install the 
package linux-headers-3.0.0-12-generic from the 11.10 repository and 
then reinstall the nvidia-current package which should now succeed 
building the module.
