>From that page, I gather that the dirver is not being installed in the
correct location (as suggested by Diego too). However, I am pretty sure
that the deb packages for my custom kernel should have installed
correctly thee driver had been available, which leads me to believe that
it was not.

After some more poking around, I think that I need to have the source
for linux-restricted-modules-686 in order for the kernel to find them
during compile and package the appropriate driver. Does this sound like
something that may work? (I am not currently at my ubuntu box, so I
won't be able to test until tonight).
