Re: msr.c problem
Why don't you make an alltogether new kernel? Just copy your old default
config file (which can be found in /boot) into /usr/src/linux/.config and
then maybe change the required parameter using "make menuconfig".
When you're finished with that, just do "make-kpkg kernel_image buildpackage".
After compiling the new kernel can be found in /usr/src as a .deb packet
which of course you can easily install...
But you need the debian packet "kernel-package" in order to run make-kpkg.
I've got the same NIC and it works pretty well, haven't got the driver
compiled as a module though...
