I've had the same types of problems. It seems the ppa and imm kernel drivers are fairly old. The documentation is a bit out of date, at least for anything above 2.2.x. Have you tried sending a message to the linux kernel list?? I bet someone on there would know if there is a dependency needed, but not documented anywhere for the 2.4 series. Thats what my best guess is. Jason
