    Just compiled the dmascc driver here for a RH8.0 machine, but I used the
      default config file from the RH kernel rpm (in directory
    /usr/src/linux-2.4/configs) as my base config and just added the dmascc
    module to the build. Works fine.

    I haven't tried it before, but you may be able to grab the appropriate
    config file from an official kernel rpm and just apply it to the build
    of a complete kernel source tree from kernel.org.

    BTW, what kind of card are you using (using PI2's here)
