Thats what I figured :( Help from my supplier is not really an option in the
short term, but you can bet they will deliver a kernel patch if I have my way :)
If I downgrade to a 2.4.7 kernel, (with memory problems and all), do I have a
chance this module will work?
If so, How do I find the 2.4.7 kernel-source.deb? (Archives?)
Would using the 2.4.7 kernel source from RH 7.2 help for compatability?
I know I can get the source from kernel.org instead if needed, but do I loose
any "good" stuff in the way of Debian kernel patches or such?

Thanks for the help!
