John,

I was able to dig up the following site today which has promising (no 
pun intended) instructions for getting the source code compiled and 
turned into a driver disk:

http://members.rogers.com/sith.warrior/build.htm

Problem is, "make dep" crashes out once I change:

EXTRAVERSION = -1.2115.nptlcustom to EXTRAVERSION = -1.2115.nptlBOOT

Anyone have any clues?

Thanks!

-Matthew
