Hello, I recently purchased a MB that has pretty much everything integrated onto it, including the NIC and sound card. The manufacturer of the NIC was kind enough to actually write up a linux driver which must be compiled and added to the kernel as a module. Prior to my switching (or attempting to) to kernel 2.2.x, I was running generic slink, and the module compiled just fine. trying it now gives me the error message that the module was compiled for 2.0.36, and that it won't work...is there any way around this? am i stuck with 2.0.36 unless I get a new NIC?
the main reason why I went with the new kernel was for [assumed] better sound card support...I don't know if the SC is sound blaster compatible, and I didn't see it mentioned as a supported model. am I SOL here too? [and the reason why I am having problems with gtk, is 'cus I wanted and irc app to ask questions in #linux....what a tangled web] thanks, -lev
