I was following a discussion in an earlier posting and was successful
in adding the subject driver au88xx-1.1.2.tar.bz2 from souceforge.net

(even did the hex editing on au8820.0 implied by Anton Osinga's
posting of 13 Jan 04:

"I found that using a hexeditor on au8830.o and changing the
string gcc2 to gcc3 made it work fine... probably not
supposed to but it works for me 
Again you can give it a try...............")

After running the "make install20" command I had the following output
that I do not know how to go further.  Any help would be greatly
appreciate.  (a newbie).
