Now, in order to have the device working, I should upgrade my system to Sid or even maybe simply upgrade only my kernel to 2.6.25-2-686. I wonder if there is a third possibility, i.e. keep my old kernel but simply recompile it. Can anybody suggest if such a way is good and how I can know the proper module to install before compiling the kernel?Hugo Vanwoerkom <hvw59601@care2.com> writes:You could recompile 2.6.25-2-686 on you Etch system from source and then install the result.... so having a Debian Etch with a 2.6.25 kernel? Doesn't it sound strange?
So what? Don't sound strange to me: 1. Download http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.25.tar.bz22. Download http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/linux-2.6/linux-2.6_2.6.25-7.diff.gz
