Oh, hell. I hate it when I have to retract a statement like this. Looks like I was _very_ wrong (big surprise there, huh?) about the OSS drivers. Either I didn't find this page before, or the info wasn't as _blatantly_ obvious as it is now (possibility). But, in any event, here it is:
http://www.4front-tech.com/linux-x86.html It discusses how to deal w/ kernel version incompatibilities by enabling mod_versions during kernel config. One curiosity, though, is the section where it talks about the drivers tendency to not like things like the 'ac-xx) patch modifications, in that it looks at the name and only looks for the base kernel release, and doesn't recognize stuff like Alan Cox's patches. Wonder how it does w/ Debians make-kpkg and the naming conventions. May have to leave off the '--revision=custom.x.x) bit. I may d/l and try this tonite. Figure it can't be any worse than what I've gone thru already. Monte ===== "Here, catch!
