(its the vortex driver in the 3com section) if for some reason the version in the kernel is obsolete (even in 2.2.17?) does 3com provide the source code to thier version? if so you can replace the kernel source file with thiers and rebuild your kernel. but i really doubt that is necessary. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
