Can someone tell me when the udev/hal support went into the kernel? I tried compiling a 2.6.12, but when I booted it, Ubuntu 6.06 couldn't run udev/hal, so my devices didn't get configured. I loaded rtl8150 using modprobe, but no ethX device was created, so I couldn't test the card. I am attempting to determine how far back in the kernel history I have to go to have this adapter not crash the system when I remove it. It didn't crash 2.6.12, but it doesn't count if the driver isn't successfully associated with the hardware, I suspect. Thanks, Miles
