What kind of information do you need?
I never SAID that it does not work, I said that it does not get recognized
at boot time. It is an ADDTRON PCI BUSMASTER CARD based on dec21041 chip.
It does get recognized and work perfectly under 2.1.0-SNAP(latest).
My problem is that my mouse is recognized by 2.2 latest SNAP and network
card is recognized by the 2.1 latest SNAP. What a bind? Xwindows or
Network?

Can I compile a 2.2 kernel on a 2.1 machine and if so where is the source
file and how can I retrieve it.


Thanks

Bora
