Michael Daenzer's trunk is very old. The link there is pointing to a new place
deb http://www.nixnuts.net/files/ ./
deb-src http://www.nixnuts.net/files/ ./
Thats what I am using at the moment with the mach64. There is also a source
package for building the module (the compiled ones are only for k7 kernels). I
don't know though how to compile them with only the kernel headers (I believe
that there is a package for that, but was never relevant for me).
