becker-ethernet-tools: ne2k compile fails

I have been trying for the last three days to build a new ISO of LNX-BBC 
using gar in a Debian chroot environment. After coming across the 
"kernel too old" problem and adjusting the approrpiate Makefile I have 
now run into several "make build" issues.

1) The site for gnupg was inaccessible (down, busy, whatever), and the 
build process just kept trying and trying and trying. Should there be 
some sort of timeout for situations like this?

2) A couple of packages had checksum errors, but I was able to get 
around those by cd-ing to their directory, removing the cookies and 
download directories and doing a manual "make fetch", "make makesum", 
"make checksum". Next "make build" it worked fine.

3) Now, and most frustratingly as all I've wanted to do is add F-Prot to 
this ISO, the ne2k driver in the becker-ethernet-tools is throwing the 
following errors:

--- Begin error chunk ---

`/backup/gar/net/becker-ethernet-tools/work/main.d'

I am not a programmer, so I have no idea what to look for. Has anyone 
else encountered this?

I like LNX-BBC, but just adding one little package has been quite an 
ordeal. Maybe I'm going about it the wrong way. I'm certainly open to 
suggestions.

Thanks.
