Ken,

The Linux preload for the A20m and T20 include a newer version of the
Lucent driver. The driver includes the source code to the Linux specific
pieces, giving the user the ability to rebuild the driver with whichever
kernel they have.

In the very near future, we will make that driver package available on the
web. Before releasing it via the web, we had to create an "unpacking"
mechanism that complied with Lucent's license end-user license
restrictions. We're in test with that now.
