It worked, sort of ...  The modules didn't build properly, but the
kernel proper boots, detects both NICs, and is happy with SCSI.  Woody
userland is a bit dodgy though (e.g. "unrecognized kernel version"
trying to ifup eth0).  So at least I know that with a bit of fiddling, I
should have a working system :-)
