Right.  This is actually a good example of why it is useful to leave 
discussions on the
mailing lists rather than go to private messages.  There was actually a 
reply to my repost
of your query the other day, but you probably missed it as the heading 
wasn't the same
as your original post.  (Put another way, the thread was broken.)

The message was from Mary Gardiner at 11:52 on the 27th.  If you can't find 
it by looking back through
the posts on the list do email me (off list this time ;-)) and I'll forward 
you your very own copy.

Mary's post also refers to http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/BinaryDriverHowto
