Hmmm ...

Well, I imagine the 2.6.28 series will be with us for a while, so I 
imagine I'll have to build the drivers locally as you suggest, else I'll 
be pinned to 2.6.27.  (Running my desktop machine without sound is 
definitely NOT an option, as I need some good pumping trance music on 
while I'm coding.)
