I already have the driver compiling clean...after spending a day with the conversion document and the old 2.4 driver. I have not yet tested it since I dont have my hardware yet. I can send you guys the driver if you'd like to check it out and play with it. I'm going on vacation as well, and hope to have hardware when I get back late next week. I've been working against the stock 2.6.4 kernel. Moving to a newer kernel can be done when the first port is verified. Jeff Oliver P.S. Can I be added to the mailing list as well?
