First of all, make sure your driver is in 2.6.15 but not 2.6.8. If so, here are all the dependences for kernel-image-2.6.11-1-686 which is the latest kernel in my cache: coreutils cpio cramfsprogs dash fileutils initrd-tools libacl1 libattr1 libc6 libncurses5 libselinux1 libsepol1 libslang2 libuuid1 lsb-base module-init-tools ncurses-bin sed util-linux zlib1g -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
