The version recommended to use with Mandrake as indicated on the Bewan site is a patched 2.4.0, this works, the PLF version (2.4.1) with the same config files does not. There have been some pretty heated discussions about this in the French groups. But the long and the short of it is if you want a connection to stay up you have to use the patched version, and make sure urpmi --auto-select does not update it for you. I have been trying to get the drivers working in both Cooker with 2.4.21-1mdk and 9.0 with the 2.4.21 stock kernel and get the following errors. gcc -DVERS=0 -O2 -fno-exceptions -fno-gnu-linker -Wstrict-prototypes -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -fno-strength-reduce -Wall -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -DLINUX -D_ATM_DRIVER -DDEBUG=1 -I/usr/src/linux/include -I../include/ -I../ -c -o unicorn_atmdrv.o unicorn_atmdrv.c unicorn_atmdrv.c: In function `rcv_aal0': unicorn_atmdrv.c:570: error: structure has no member named `rx_inuse' unicorn_atmdrv.c: In function `rcv_aal5': unicorn_atmdrv.c:674: error: structure has no member named `rx_inuse' make: *** [unicorn_atmdrv.o] Error 1 It compiles and runs with a stock 2.4.20 on 9.0. -- Dave Cotton Directeur Linux Autrement 193 rue Marcel Cerdan 84270 Vedene 04 90 23 30 81 <http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?country=France&address=193%20rue%20Marcel%20Cerdan%20&city=Vedene&state=&zipcode=84270>
