As far as I can tell it works with the Tigon but not the 4401. I'm
pretty sure they use different chips.

Oops.
Anyway, here's a more specific question.
I have kernel-source-2.4.18 installed expanded and extracted and the
symbolic link created.
I installed kernel-headers-2.4.18-bf2.4. It created a directory of
the same name in /usr/src.
I have the bcm440x source expanded and extracted.
When I try to make it it gives me an error about a file it can't find.
The file isn't where it is looking.
I need to know how to blend the kernel-header files with the
kernel-source so the file from the headers package are where they
would be if I actual built the kernel.
