Not strictly a linux-hams issue  - although it has put me off the 
air ;-) I have hit the wall with this one, and I know there are 
experienced Debian users out there.

Recently, I  migrated to Debian 3.1, and I am impressed with it, 
except for one thing: my 4-port RS232 USB hub no longer works.

This is a Keyspan USB49WLC outboard USB hub that I need for Hamlib rig 
control, TNC access (DX-Cluster), CW-keying (cwdaemon) and PTT-keying 
on the digi-modes.

The keyspan driver loads, but syslog complains that 'the firmware is 
unavailable'. 

I have brewed up my own 2.6.8 kernel *(using Debian supplied 2.6.8 
kernel sources) but there does not seem to be a way to build firmware 
images.

The Keyspan device driver compiles (and loads) but firmware is still 
'unavailable' and the hub remains QRT.

Any pointers are appreciated.

Wilbert, ZL2BSJ
