Hmm, the debian kernel source setup is somewhat different from what
others have.  I did the following:  install the kernel-source2.0.34 deb,
cd /usr/src/linux, find 3c59x.c, rename it to 3c59x.c.old, cp the new
3c59x.c in its place, and compile as usual with make-kpkg.  This worked
without a hitch.

HTH,
Eric
