I am downloading suse 9.1 which i plan to install soon but i have a problem in that i use a bt voyager usb adsl modem, which all works fine since i got the driver from flashtux approx' 9 months ago. But i have been to the flashtux site to check for, and download an upgrade, which i have got, but there is a patch for the 2.6 kernel (which is what suse 9.1 uses) and flashtux say that it needs to be installed then the kernel needs to be re-compiled and re-installed !!! Which scares the shit out of me i have **no idea** how to do any of this :( Has anyone got the latest flashtux driver to work with suse 9.1 **without** the patch ? or can someone point me to a *very* newbie easy to follow **step by step guide** on how to re-install and re-compile the kernel ? -- Never discourage anyone...who continually makes progress, no matter how slow.

Hi .. save your self some hassle and get an zoom X3 or simialr ADSL router and install an ethetnet card ... i have tried the options for setting up the voyager and other similar usb devices on ADSL a total waste of time basically if they work they crap out and the other Plus point of things like the zoom is it also contains an Firewall that works fairly well .. No need for special software to communicate with the zoom either you just use your browser to connect and tweak as you want .
