Hi there The only example of anything approaching this that i know of is using ndiswrapper to install the windows driver for a wifi card on a linux box and after 2.6.25 it looks like you will taint the kernel by doing this. Using windows drivers within linux is an ugly hack at best. mike _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
