A belated followup - there is a time delay because my messages are routed via the "gmane" newsgroup. So this may be old hat. The above answer - for which I am grateful - may also hold the key to my problem (posted and present in the same day's downloads). On my box, the driver is recognised and loaded at boot. But it may need configuration tweaks. So my question remains and has just received an added dimension - namely, the suggested entry is absent. So where do I look for the needed information for the name of the module.
