Don, it'll take a while -- I looked at the drivers and the 2.6 kernel 
drivers are built for FedoraCore2 (32-bit version), so we're going to 
start out with that, and then experiment in a Debian pure 64 chroot. 
Gentoo people have the driver working for amd64, so I don't think there 
are any real problems.  (I need someone else to handle the project, so 
I'm recommending an optimal entry point.)
