I see cryptic references to 'kernel ABI' whatever that is. Maybe I should also ask this in a different manner... I have module I have the details of distro/kernels that it will work with, how do I get it to work, given that that you can no longer download the distro in question the same kernel, I.E. the kernel available are newer than the module supports. What I ahve tried do to, is get the distro in question and downgrade the kernel. Other ideas? Oh, and the vendor does not want to help, they don't seem to realise the problems, we are having, the pci card is EOL and they say they are supporting it. difficult situation all round really. -- 'ooroo stinga...(:)-) --------------------------------------------------- Email: stinga@xxxxxxxxxxxxx o You need only two tools. o ///// A hammer and duct tape.
