If you still have them, why don't you try to see if those OSS/commercial drivers work together with Debian? I for one would be _very_ interested to know if that works - it would probably be cheaper to buy commercial drivers for the card I have than to buy a new card (what do they charge BTW?). -- Best regards, Peter Hugosson-Miller "Quidquid Latine dictum sit, altum viditur."
