Well I seem to have crossed one hurdle...I found a .config in the
kernel-header dir and used that.  The module inserted with out a complaint
but when I try to bringing it up I get:

    Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address...

If you have any insight into this I would glad to hear it.  Kernel params
maybe?  Off to google....
