Send me the source for this... I didn't know he made another new driver
(he's supposed to email me, I'm on that list...) anyway.... I'll give it a
try and let you know what the results are.  You might need to recompile
the whole kernel and say 'yes' to the three module questions:

Use modules?
Use modversions?
Enable kerneld support?

then you can just do:

gcc -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet -O6 -c
driver.c
