Ok, so in my 2.6.5 kernel I'll have Prism54 version 1.1. If I want to
build a newer version I can download either the testing or cvs
packages from http://prism54.org/download/. I'm not entirely clear
what gets build from those tarballs - I assume just the prism54 kernel
module. And if using 1.2 or cvs would even make a difference for
me...
Thanks for the help,
