The driver I found, was both pre-compiled as a module, and given as source code. The only problem is that I can't get the pre-compiled version to work on other things than std. redhat 7.x kernel (ie. std. kernel when you install redhat, that is). I can't get the source code to compile either. So, to sum up; * Are there anyone testing/maintaing this driver, trying to get it into the standard kernel source? * If not, would it be rude for me to make it work with the latest kernels, and then submitt it? (I won't take credit for anything I haven't done, but since I haven't written the driver itself, I don't know what you guys think) -- -Thomas
