Yep.  I got it working with 2.6.24, and then something major changed in
kbuild in 2.6.25, which I couldn't find any dpcumentation or hints or
anything for, and while module-assistant works great, I can't get kbuild
to work with the nvidia Makefiles at all.  I am still trying though.

There also doesn't seem to be any documentation on what
linux-modules-nonfree-2.6 expects in terms of makefiles and calling
parameters from a module source package.  Rather sad state really.
