Have you tried the patch file from http://www.minion.de/ I used the method
described in the readme file as "2) install the kernel module (as root):"
near the top of the file it worked perfectly. The page describes the patch as
for test5 which I was using it on but it worked for test6 as well.
The files refered too:
