Speaking to HPT they told me they do provide the v1.31 driver opensource, which can be used to compile against the kernel. I'm building this system as a production server, it's maybe a week away, so I also don't really have the chance to fiddle with this too much. Maybe one day it'll all be added into the kernel, make life easier for many of us. Michael. http://search.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo! Search - Looking for more? Try the new Yahoo!
