Maybe that wasn't too good an idea...

Attempting to compile it resulted in hundreds of errors- I worked through all those errors relating to missing include files for 2.6.19 kernel that were not supplied in my distro (I got them from kernel.org), but there is still literally hundreds- it starts with many relating to BITS_PER_LONG that I'll never be able to fathom.

Anybody actually successfully compiled this for Knoppix 5.1.1?

I might park this for now and look into the ch341 patch for the usbserial driver that I've found ...

Clutching at straws though!
