A belated followup - there is a time delay because my messages are routed
via the "gmane" newsgroup. So this may be old hat.
The above answer - for which I am grateful - may also hold the key to my
problem (posted and present in the same day's downloads).
On my box, the driver is recognised and loaded at boot. But it may need
configuration tweaks. So my question remains and has just received an added
dimension - namely, the suggested entry is absent.
So where do I look for the needed information for the name of the
module.
