Oh, OK. There were no probs with this in 9.1 even tho those kernels were by default compiled with gcc-3.x. > > > Do I need to report this as a bug to MandrakeSoft Bugzilla? > Please don't, this isn't our bug I think ... OK, not Mandrake. Perhaps kernel.org? Or maybe just ignore it altogether? > > I need this kernel compiled with gcc-2.96 for my satellite internet > > connection card driver. > Get your hardware vendor to provide an update binary object for your > kernel module, or use an ancient kernel. According to the developer who ported the driver to linux, Telemann (hardware manufacturer) did not make a full source release of their driver and unfortunately there is a binary component (independent of kernel interface) that cannot be compiled. He has approached Telemann about getting this library recompiled or releasing the source code, but they have not yet responded. So it looks like I'll have to go back to an ancient kernel. Hopefully I can use the 9.1 kernel-source-2.4.21-0.25mdk.i586.rpm with 9.2. Thanks very much for your advice Buchan. Sharrea -- Help Microsoft stamp out piracy - give Linux to a friend today
