Yep, it's there.  Strangely, it seems to work using alsa as a backend. 
I dunno.  Every time I start to think I'm getting a handle on how linux
audio works, I get stumped again.

Here's where I've gotten to now.

Load jack normally on desktop using qjackctrl.  And it loads fine.

Load jack -R -d net on laptop.  It comes up and says 'creating driver'
or something close to that)

I run jack_netsource -H laptop on the desktop machine, and the two
appear to talk to each other.  The laptop changes its configuration, and
both show an occasional network xrun.  qjackctrl on the desktop shows 2
netjack audio ins and outs, and 1 netjack MIDI in and out.

However, if I run qjackctrl on the laptop, it doesn't show any netjack
'ports' at all, even though the two seem to continue to talk to each other.

How frustrating!
