Which is what I was after. I was able to use the installed kernel to get it up and running, and I knew their had to be something available to create the module for it in the SuSE kernel, it was just a matter of looking to find it and compile it into the stock kernel sources. If you plan on compiling a new kernel from the stock kernel sources look me up and I'll send you the patch for the 2.2.17 kernel (or whichever version is out at the time). dm> /Dee dm> dm> dm> W.D.McKinney (Dee) deem@wdm.com dm> dm> dm> -- S.Toms - tomas@primenet.com - www.primenet.com/~tomas SuSE Linux v7.0+ - Kernel 2.2.17 The devil finds work for idle circuits to do.
