The 1.6.5 release has a 2.4.18 kernel. Install the kernel headers package. apt-get install kernel-headers-2.4.18-386 Then compile your driver on the box itself using the kernel headers in /usr/src. Install the .o file in the proper /lib/modules directory and you should be set. On Wed, 3 Apr 2002, Clark, Bill W. wrote: > First let me tell you that what I have seen of your product is great.
