I'll submit the little patch for inclusion and (hopefully, it didn't really get tested, but oh well) future drivers should work a little better directly (that is, without you needing to specify the port/irq/dma values manually). > You were right, that modprobe line did it.

Yup -- assuming there are no funny messages in "dmesg" after loading the driver, all should be well. > I'm working my way up to recompiling kernels one day and I may try it the > other way.

"Compiled into the kernel binary" versus "compiled into a standalone module" that is. One advantage of the latter is that it's easier to try different modules and try with different parameters. But don't worry about it; that was not the important bit. Just that the driver, whether compiled into the kernel binary or compiled modular, needs to be recompiled with the patch applied to enable it to find it's resource values itself. But it'll work the way you have it setup now with the current driver fine, so all well...
