getting 2.8.7 or better for 2.6 kernel?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I tried the patch with a Dell Optiplex GX110.  The module loads, finds a 
device at 0x09, but says it's "not activated".  What do you need to 
debug this problem?

Regards,

Jeremy
