Can you expand on this? What exactly is it that is getting in the
way of the test? You need to install sudo, ssh and rsync if you don't have
them in order to run "make test", but obviously you can replace them
with your own favorites in the makefile. I had to use those because

   1) I can't guarrantee that root has remote access and you may not be
      on the client. Hence the use of ssh and sudo.
   2) I need make to do a remote dependent update too, which it can't
      do, hence the use of rsync.

You may simply run the appropriate commands as root on the two
machines involved.

(aside: I don't see HOW you could possibly get a binary package that
contains a kernel module! It would have to be specific to a particular
kernel, and you probably don't have that one)

For file sync, why not use rsync?  (www.rsync.org and accept the
redirect).  I've just been trying 2.4.6 and they seem to have cured the
hanging problems in 2.4.4.
