I don't believe the bf-2.4 version contains those drivers. That would explain why it didn't recognize the cards. Download the kernel source for the latest stable 2.4 kernel here: http://www.kernel.org/ I would then check out this document: http://64.233.167.104/search?q=cache:wXbacUnGwAUJ:www.debianuniverse.com/rea donline/chapter/21+&hl=en&ie=UTF-8 NOTE: This was originally on linuxmagau's sight, but it looks like they have decided to close shop after being cracked... :( Too bad. I really like Jon Oxer's writing style. Jon, if you read this, put the documents you had written for linuxmagau up on your sight! They are well written and would be missed. :) Roll your own kernel to add these new drivers. Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
