Hence my "widely available" qualifier -- you can't just expect it to be there on an existing system. But I thought it required some kernel patches to the driver still. Is there a definitive "state of the nation" page on the whole issue -- I went looking a week or two ago but didn't find anything particularly helpful, but my Google-fu isn't infallible, and what I found didn't mirror my recollections from reading mailing list discussions (but I couldn't find *those* in Google, either). - Matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
