The correct driver is loading but it is unable to load the firmware. I suggest you read the posts on the driver message forum to see if others have had a similar problem, and post there yourself for advice. http://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/at76c503a-user http://developer.berlios.de/projects/at76c503a/ Unfortunately I cannot give any more help since I no longer own a device using this driver. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
