By the way, since they've added debian packaging for the modules, rather
than make & make install you can build the dkms package with:

1. apt-get install dpkg-dev linux-kbuild-2.6.38 linux-headers-2.6.38-2-amd64
(assuming you use the amd64 flavor kernel, otherwise 686 or whatever
flavor you use)

2. grab and unpack the tarball (or git clone) and cd to the resulting
directory

3. dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -b

4. install the resulting dkms deb with dpkg -i, which will automatically
build the modules for you
