Still working just fine. It has worked for many months. 

The simple way is to just install kernel source and add a symlink 
ln -s /usr/src/linux /usr/src/linux-2.6 

if I'm not mistaken.

You can make changes to zaptel (I think it is) and it will work without source 
but I don't want to have to make changes to that source. This would work 
around the distro problems with using the new 2.6 header info (which saves 
you from needing the source).

Actually, you can get a script that does it all for you at 
szmidt.org/asterisk/asterisk-update.sh

Just type asterisk-update.sh to get the parameters.
