I tanked something in the ordering along the way. A bit of a chicken  
and egg problem here, but you need to actually get apt installed, along  
with the atrpms package (which contains atrpms-kmdl-helper) before you  
can install the forcedeth kernel module. I need to update my docs, but  
have no time at the moment...
