21 Yeah I have all the kernel modules. The only thing I'm unsure about is, that it refers some firmware that needs to be downloaded. This can be downloaded from fedora, or (I think) from portage. If the firmware from portage is the same as from the fedora site. Then I should have all necessary bits. But I'll try building it as a module, and follow the directions about that. (I'm just glad that the only gui applications I use are pdfÃ-readers and ÃÃÃÃÃin browsing :-))
