reopen 523570
thanks
I think You are wrong for close bug
1. Driver wants absent binary file with '.dat' extencion in /etc
directory (see FHS
http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#ETCHOSTSPECIFICSYSTEMCONFIGURATION)
quote:
No binaries may be located under /etc.
2. Driver does not work (assotiate or not assotiate - both cases have
not differences)
