Well i'm not intending to continue using it, however installing OSS lead me
to the root of the problem, like i said its a PCI card and seems as such to
need a diifferent driver as to what is written in /linux/Documentation/AWE64
However the version of OSS i downloaded has a "usage" time of 240 minutes
not 20 as you say, i have noticed also that it's 240 minutes everytime you
restart the driver, that means to me if you want to you can use it for 4
hours at a time, if one used crontab to unload the driver before the
expiracy time and reload it, Bob might be your uncle, however i have not
tryed that and will not be as my card now works under the normal linux
compiled module, for my card PCI64V thats the es1371.o module.
Thats the information which OSS returned and lead me along the correct path,
the path which i could not find by reading the documentation for AWE cards.
Once more thanks for the tip.
