Hi, yes it is Kernel 2.2.19pre9. The modules supplied by the Mainboard are named rh61-u100.pat and rh62-u100.pat and i can't see for which kernel they were made. Insmod doesn't accept these files. By the way - I installed Suse 7.1 and it worked without any problem. Where do they hide their drivers and can I use them with debian? Thanks Joerg
