I've checked : indeed only the 2.6.35-generic appears, whichis the kernel of the pc that i'm using to watch the laptop under testing (and yes i have proprietary driver on it); in other terms, i didn't manage to have a working connection with the pc under testing; i'll search to have it working and then post it the log message , after i have verified that the right kernel appears in the file, if you agree of course; i'm sorry for the trouble; all of this is brand new to me. > > -Carsten. thank you for your kind help Victor -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rt-users" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
