Sven: Did you check with lsmod that they were in fact loaded (and no other related modules was)?

AFAIR this one was not about broken drivers, but working fine when loaded as modules, and seldom of any use on that architecture, so left out to save space in the kernel. Building drivers modular is all (or mostly) about saving space at runtime, isn't it? - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist og Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ - Enden er nær: http://www.shibumi.org/eoti.htm
