Jan, the kernel-2.2.16 patch works against the 2.2.17 kernel as well. The patch updates the appropriate config files and documentation for the kernel source package, so go ahead and apply that. Then, copy the files from the cvs update into the /usr/src/linux-2.2/drivers/ieee1394 directory. Next, when you use make menuconfig or xconfig to configure the kernel, you need to go into the first submenu, code maturity options, and enable prompting for development/incomplete drivers to get to the ieee1394 section. Finally, the ieee1394 submenu appears/enables so you can choose modules. You'll want to enable IEEE 1394, OHCI, and Raw IEEE 1394 I/O support. Modules works fine for most users; however, some users have said they need to compile in the support. Also, please purchase an OHCI compliant card. +-DRD-+ Jan Rhebergen wrote: > > Hello all, > > I have a (new) Debian GNU/Linux i386 system running a 2.2.17 kernel.
