I do indeed need the rt2860sta driver which is different than the rt2860 driver. I also need the atl1e driver which is different from the atl1 driver. However, it seems that the good Debian-EEE maintainers didn't weave those into their kernel tree, but instead made the source to the patches available as separate packages. So, installing the rt2860-source and atl1e-source packages, then doing the m-a prepare and m-a a-i dance should, if the patches apply cleanly to an Ingo kernel, get me the drivers I need to get this thing running. > > 2009/1/26 Ken Restivo <ken@xxxxxxxxxxx> > > > And here is the next installment in the saga of trying to get Ingo RT going > > on my Asus EEE. > > > > I successfully built and ran the 2.6.26.8-rt12 with the alsa_seq patch.
