On old systems < 3.4 I compile the source from peak systems. On newer systems it is plug and play. If you used peak 'years ago' you probably used the chardev driver. You can still use this driver if you have software that requires it, but you will need compile the source with special -no-netdev switch, better to port your code and embrace the upstream driver :). The buildfiles contain a nice list of switches you can use.
