That would work. For some reason the only 2.2.14 modules they included in 2.0beta are for a patched Mandrake kernel. In the past, the program would create and install the modules without problems (actually for the earliest versions, I had to edit the Makefile a bit). The module was created, but the installation process aborts with a message that possibly the headers in /usr/src/linux/include are different than those with which the kernel was compiled, which is not the case. I've posted the problem to their newsgroup, but have not had any response. I'm still able to run vmware, but without any networking support. -- Bob Nielsen, N7XY (RN2) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tucson, AZ DM42nh QRP-L #1985 SOC #77 http://www.primenet.com/~nielsen
