I figured if it was as simple as just compiling the binary in 64 bit that it could be done easily but if work is required I would definately rather see the resources go into the open source version. I help fun a small livecd for which I've added wimax support to the 32 bit version. If you need anything related to the 64 bit work you are doing tested, I have a small user base that is equipped with appropriate hardware and I'm sure they would be very happy to 1) Help test and 2) Have a working device :-) Thanks again, Rick
