I'm by far not an expert but I have been looking into this also and that is my understanding. Just use the 2.2.1 file. I just compiled and installed kernel 2.0.36. I had 2.0.34 and thought I was downloading a couple patches to bring me up to 2.0.36 but I downloaded the whole kernel 2.0.35 and 2.0.36. Stupid but it worked and so far I haven't found anything broken and I now have sound! Best to you, Kent
