Michael Daenzer's trunk is very old. The link there is pointing to a new place deb http://www.nixnuts.net/files/ ./ deb-src http://www.nixnuts.net/files/ ./ Thats what I am using at the moment with the mach64. There is also a source package for building the module (the compiled ones are only for k7 kernels). I don't know though how to compile them with only the kernel headers (I believe that there is a package for that, but was never relevant for me). > > Andrea > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
