I was successful building and installing the tpctl modules by getting
the two debs from unstable to my testing machine.

I guess the problem was that the testing debs are version 0.8 which
should only support 2.2 kernels, as you mention, and I'm running 2.4.7

I have another problem now, though. The modules load fine, but I can't
do anything with the tpctl utility. Calling something like 'tpctl -ix'
gives a 'Function not supported' message (Sorry, I don;t have the
exact output here at work and my connectivity from home last night was
a bit iffy.)
