Hi Adrian,
I guess the w83793 driver had not made the 2.6.18.4 kernel that RHEL5 is
based off.
Anyway, luckily you don't need to build a whole kernel for one driver
module - you can build the driver out of tree against the el5 kernel.
Even better, I've backported the module for you from the latest upstream
kernel (2.6.30.5) as a kABI tracking kmod package and put it in the
elrepo-testing repository here (kmod-w83793):
http://elrepo.org
http://elrepo.org/linux/testing/el5/
As you have the hardware, I'd appreciate if you would test the driver
and report back how it works, either here or on the elrepo mailing lists
or bug tracker.
Thanks
