It works! Well, mostly. Pics attached. Thanks to Arjan, Segfault, and everyone else involved with this. A couple of caveats for anyone else that wants to try it out:
1) The list of build tools in step 1.1 returned some errors for me, as the files weren't found. I made some substitutions:
xz for xz-utils
libssl for libssl-dev
libelf for libelf-dev
ncurses for ncurses-dev
Some of these were already installed, and some (maybe even all) may not have been necessary. I wasn't sure if they were part of the reason I was able to do a successful build though, so I thought I'd mention them.
2) The firmware comes in a subfolder called bes2600. The actual driver also unpacks to a folder called bes2600. Be careful not to confuse them, or write both their contents to the same folder.
Yes, it's slow. My speed test actually had the upload a little faster than the download. It causes the tablet not to come out of suspend, and the driver crashes when I go to shut it down. Great progress though!
