As Josh said, it all revolves around this parameter. Get the kernel to accept it, and you'll be good. Josh's mention of moving from 2.6.8 to 2.6.11 makes me think it may have something to do with the module changes that happened between the 2 versions. Just for reference, I have the exact same card (2 of them actually), and they work great. --Brian Jackson <snip> ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Oracle Space Sweepstakes Want to be the first software developer in space?
