He wants to take a course anyway, and it gets us free internet for a year
when he does ($300 for one course).  Have you compiled just a module?  I
tried for an ethernet card, having gathered what I thought were complete
instructions from the site with the source code, and eventually gave up
with too many error messages that nobody here could help with.  Do you
want to try compiling the usb modules for BL2?  usb-core.o and uhci.o I
think.  I am wondering if BL2 and whatever is needed to use a memory card 
reader could be fit onto two floppy disks.  Or do you know some way to do 
this in DOS?
