I download the "clean" 2.2.12 tarball, and the "patch" from DPT's ftp
site. I believe the one that I used was 106_2pat.gz. This was on a
RedHat 6.0 machine, so I'm not sure what else is different. I've
attached my .config file from the linux kernel. Perhaps I'll compile a
new kernel on that machine a little later (only takes 4 minutes,
amazing) and see if I get similar errors. I'm not going to use their
pre-compiled module, that's just asking for trouble...
