This must be one of those fundamental differences between 2.4 and 2.6. At the risk of sounding utterly incompetent, could you enlighten me as to what I should have been looking for in terms of seach terms. I like to think I'm a decent googler and I generally RTFM, but I was totally unable to help myself this time. I was aware that the driver layer is completely different between the 2.4 and 2.6 series, but I have difficulty in finding out what that means from a practical standpoint. Hence the questions. Thank you very much for your answer BTW. I play with it later this weekend. Guy -- Free Speech is better than Free Beer
