Good for you. I am not too good at this. Having read through this page
numerous times i do still not know how to fix this. Could someone please
post a short description of how to apply the patch and where to find the
file "modprobe:conf" (not in my ubuntu hardy install) I know this is not a
forum, but an step by step instruction would be incredibly well received!
Best regards
KEtil
