Howto Compile the hso-kernel by yourself: (only for experts)
You need the kernel header files, which match to your current kernel version.
The install script might give you a hint, which EeePC kernel version you exact need.
Additionally you need the essential build packages, the module-assistant and naturally 
the hso sources package. This can be installed by:

    sudo apt-get install build-essential
    sudo apt-get install module-assistant
    sudo apt-get install linux-header-2.6.??.?-eeepc
    sudo dpkg -i hso-source_1.1-2_all.deb

    sudo module-assistant -l 2.6.21.4-eeepc auto-install hso  (-l = as in L, not number 1!)
or
    sudo module-assistant auto-install hso

Note: with '?' in linux-header-2.6.??.?-eeepc as a replacement for your real kernel header


If you like to compile the module for another kernel, don't forget to clean up the
build environment by:

    sudo module-assistant clean hso
