Thanks, that's exactly the info I need. Some more questions: * I'd like to know what's the best way of getting patch-2.2.12-irda3 plus any preceding kernel that I would patch it on (I am currently using 2.0.36). * Do I have to also upgrade to redhat 6.0 or can kernel 2.2.X be installed on top of 2.0.36 (any pointer to solutions of pontential problems here would be appreciated).
