anyone know details about how the acx100 kernel module was compiled?

[John Napiorkowski]

Unfortunately I inherited a wireless PCcard with this
non free chipset.  Since I'm pretty newb to Linux, I
ended up messing around quite a bit before I got this
piece of hardware to work.  The kernel module for this
wireless chipset got installed on my laptop somehow (I
messed around in Synaptic quite a bit) so all that was
needed was to install the firmware files from the
windows drivers CD.  However, I ended up needed to add
some startup parameters to this in ../modules.d to
make it all work properly, since the directory that
the acx100 faq at the sourceforge site for this kernel
module recommends I use didn't seem to work.

It's actually really easy to make this driver work,
and I'd like to write a FAQ for the community in
thanks for all the hard work that has gone into this
marvelous distro.  However, I'm trying to figure out
details about how this kernel driver was compiled.  Is
there anyone out there that knows how I can figure
this out?
