That modified kernel is available at:
http://www.array.org/ubuntu/source.html
And the GIT repository is at: http://www.array.org/ubuntu/source-git.html

The main difference in that kernel is making sure the drivers released
by ASUS are included (they were distributed as source for an older
kernel if I remember correctly)
