I think so. When I tried it using the (masked) version that is in
Portage, it failed miserably.

Yep.

When you install usb-rndis-lite (after checking it out with svn and
compiling it), you may find that the modules have the same name as
those which were compiled from kernel sources. usb-rndis-lite will put
its module in /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/extra, I think. Because the
kernel puts its own modules in /lib/modules/.../kernel/driver/usb/net
(or similar, can't check right now), there will be a naming collision.
This might lead into a situation where the new usb-rndis-lite drivers
are never loaded because the kernel's own drivers are loaded first.
However, the kernel's own driver don't support WM5 right now, AFAIK.

odccm will be available from subversion. I think it is definately
preferred over the others.

It will probably work, but watch out to always call the right utility.
Maybe you'll run into problems with the concurrent versions of
librapi/libsynce/synce.

Just ask if you run into problems during following the wiki's recipe!
