As I said earlier, I can try it out but is it possible for me to just build the correct modules? or does this driver require features specifically in .32? Also, I'm planning to try out the new kernel in a VM. Since this is a USB device, I can pass full control to the virtualized installation of linux. Is that fine or should I test it out on a physical machine? Also, if I'm trying out the 2.6.32 machine, could you tell me which flags should I need to enable / pay attention to so that I'm sure compile the correct drivers? Thanks.
