Under some circumstances (e.g. a 2.4 kernel without the ability to load 
the firmware on request) the firmware gets compiled into the driver.

In any case you get warned at compilation time when a driver is not 
being built, please check the compilation logs.

You are running a 2.6 kernel? You have configured, compiled & installed 
it properly? The running kernel version (that's the one reported by 
'uname -a') is 2.6.1-1.61 and this is also the one for which you have 
the sources installed?

Please read the README, INSTALL and TROUBLESHOOTING files.
