Following myself, I found that version 1.06 works correctly with my setup. Could the driver be integrated in the main tree ? (I guess the answer will be : it's up to Donald to provide the new drivers to Linus :-)
As a side question, not related to l-k, could someone give me some indication on how regenerating a proper RH 6.1 bootable image once I have recompiled the kernel-2.2.12-20.src.rpm package ? (ie, how running the different mkboot, mkinitrd, updmodules, etc. scripts found on the install RH 6.1 CD).
Thanks in advance, A+, -- Thierry Danis Poste : 53 53 danis@spmo.sagem.fr
