You need to 'patch' the kernel, not the driver, some symbols are exported as GPL which prevents the driver from being used. This is a licensing issue though, so I've held off implementing that patch in my own kernel PKGBUILD in Arch (linux-rt-ice). I think it is illegal to distribute such a patch, though using it on your own machine may be fine (those who are more knowledgable should correct me on this). -- 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
