Is your PC now finding the 5i25 card when you do lspci ?? If not, you will never get anything to load onto the card since the PC doesn't recognize that the card exists. If lspci doesn't show the card you should probably try the card in a different PC and see if the OS recognizes the card. Dave

I think you need to re-read this... 2) remove the "firmware = [path/to/firmware/file]" part of the "config =" line, keep any commands for loading stepgens, pwmgens or encoder modules, if they are needed for Your machine. I read that as... DRIVER=hm2_pci B OARD=5i23 C ONFIG="firmware=hm2/5i2
