Success with the Debian 2.6.18-4-486 build, which is known to work almost as well on the test platform as the 2.6.12 kernel that DSL-N comes with. I used an older compiler than Debian used for their production build, so I binary-patched the aha1542.ko and sr_mod.ko files so insmod wouldn't complain about different vermagic strings. That's as close as it gets without redoing everything from scratch. I'll give Alan's and James' patches a go within the next 13 hours. (Alan: what *else* would you name a variable associated with a bounce buffer besides Zebedee? Thanks for the occasion to smile...) -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Bob Tracy WTO + WIPO = DMCA? http://www.anti-dmca.org rct@frus.com -----------------------------------------------------------------------
