Which was the point to my previous question about why a driver cannot be used with a newer kernel version. The 2.6 kernel is still the 2.6 kernel even if it has .3-5 or .3-55 at the end. If someone writes a driver for the 2.6 kernel it should work no matter what revision level the kernel goes to. But then I am not a programmer only a frustrated user.
