If you like you can download the linux emulation layer from rah:

ftp://rah.star-gate.com/pub/linux_ioctl-3.0-current.tar.gz

As for compiling the linux layer:

cd /usr/src/lkm/linux
make
make install                   
modstat                      to find out a module's id
modunload -i <id-of-module>  #to unload a module
linux                        #to load linux module
