Recompile your kernel, then it will work.

Linux then DOES auto-detect the card very well! -- Sign the EU petition against SPAM: L I N U X .~. http://www.politik-digital.de/spam/ The Choice /V\ of a GNU /( )\ Generation ^^-^^ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
