If you insist on compiling from source without gtk+, have recent
enough versions of autoconf and automake installed and don't mind
mucking with the code, you can do the following:

 - configure.ac: remove the "checks for modules" section
 - Makefile.am: remove frontend from the SUBDIRS

and then just do the regular

  $ ./configure <your-options-here>
  $ make
  $ su -c 'make install'

This is all untested but I believe this will work fine.  Note that the
3590 will only work on IA32 (ix86) machines.  It will not work on any
other architecture, including 64 bits, because it requires a non-free
binary-only module.

Yes.

Hope this helps,
