Well that brings it full circle then, doesn't it Thomas?

The OP posted that he DID try the new kernel (the subject of this thread)
and it did NOT work for him, and others (mistakenly) suggested he modprobe
it, only to be told by you that its in the kernel and he need do nothing of 
the sort.

Its all starting to sound a little like a Monty Python skit isn't it?
