Is there anything I can do to aid in getting these drivers into the kernel? I would be willing to send patches, however, my experience with kernel hacking is limited and I don't have a lot of time available to contribute. With a little direction, though, I might be able to get somewhere. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks, Forest -- Forest Bond http://www.alittletooquiet.net http://www.pytagsfs.org
