Finding a PKGBUILD for the 2.6.21.4 kernel (for Asus EEE )

I'm trying to build a kernel that will support the Asus Eee's non-source drivers out of the box without ndiswrapper.  I also would like to install the whole thing using my pacman.  Is there any way to get a complete PKGBUILD for this kernel?  If possible, I'd also like to get the associated patches, etc if possible.

I'm basing my hack on some things listed here:

I played with the CVS for awhile, but couldn't find a way to get the kernel 2.6.21.4 PKGBUILD, and I'm not sure if CVS would even do this.

After this, I'll have to compare the PKGBUILD with the config that Asus used on their kernel.  We'll see how it goes.  Thanks for any help or tips.

Normally PKGBUILDS for kernels are not provided in arch.

However, one has been inserted into the aur mix by raymano and it is for kernel 2.6.23.9-1.

What are you talking about - I thought the PKGBUILDs were publicly available. Atleast I can see them - and you could certainly create your own although with a little difficulty for such an early kernel - but It should be possible

Vitalstatistix;

The statement may be misconstued...a particular PKGBUILD for building  a particular kernel is not generally provided in the AUR. 

Packages are generated by the AUR PKGBUILDS which are not kernels as well.

Try using the webcvs:
http://cvs.archlinux.org/cgi-bin/viewcv … /kernel26/
to get the old PKGBUILD and accompanying files.
It might be easier than using plain cvs commands.
