I guess that you are trying = to=20 make an unstable device driver work I'm afraid. I know that it is in the=20 kernel and indeed it could well work fine with some set ups, but yours is=20 probably not one of them. Have you also tried the forums just in case=20 someone has managed to make the particular device work with this driver? =2D-=20 Regards, Mick --nextPart54472723.Nbd74obK7Z Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBHa7435Fp0QerLYPcRAjy5AKCxKM1nVVsqpymLrB+3D+DVO4ib4ACgov/s iuzTM3zwSLUd8eTu9tmaXRM= =iPhk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart54472723.Nbd74obK7Z-- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
