[Click] click kernel module compile for Debian Lenny

[springbo at cs.wisc.edu]

Hi Steve,

I've attached the oneshot patch, but applying it to the newest tree might
be a bit tricky. Some (but not all) of the changes have made it into
mainline click (ex. commit 398adb864a512b234a52ec5fd2c47de8b9647a9b).

Also if you are going to use the new e1000 driver (7.3.20), you'll likely
need to apply the patch I submitted a week ago.

Good luck!
Kevin Springborn
