I managed to get the driver to work, but for a price (less available 
memory).  Apparently the driver will not run with BIGMEMORY set to 4GB or 
64GB.  When I built the kernel without it, the module works fine although I 
lost about 128MB of memory out of the 1GB I have.  The driver developers 
are looking into it.

Luckily this machine is VERY fast otherwise I would have given up building 
so many kernels until I found one that worked.
