Can I have your tar file? I'd like to try it out.
btw other than that "2.2.12-20" is the kernel that Redhat built for their
6.1 distro, it isn't particularly distro specific. The description above
is merely a listing of all the cross-dependencies into other kernel fragments
that happened because Lucent's coder didn't bother to consider his code as
a truly seperate unit, so it could be a well behaved module.
