...Can anyone tell me where I might be able to download a pre-built
installer for this driver?  First of all, I only have the first 6 disks for
lenny.  Secondly, Aptitude just pretty much screwed up Linux when I tried to
install everything that I thought I needed to build it.  My courses start
tomorrow, and I really don't have the time to fiddle around with my computer
right now!

you need to install the development stuff - I think installing 
module-assistant should do the trick, since it depends on
build-essential. Then you'd get enough docs to tackle the task -
man module-assistant after installing.
