I'll try this and see what happens. The catch would appear to be that
installer components live on the (as yet undetected) CD, so can't be
loaded to fetch the module.
I've built a modified netinst CD with the module added, which I will try
tomorrow when I'm in the same room with the e3500. Maybe I even built
it correctly. :)
