Besides, the driver will only be useful on a server type motherboard using a chipset that supports ioatdma. This is not the case with a Centrino-based machine. By the way, you might try checking the Maintainer's file to find out who supports that module and copy them directly. If they're at work this week they might have a more official answer. sln -- == Mr. Shannon Nelson Parents can't afford to be squeamish. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

As I understand it, the gentoo philosophy is 'update by patching the source, then compiling it'. So basically, the way the kernel is updated with a "patch/make/make install", you apply *all* updates that way. This can suck if you have things like OpenOffice and Firefox on your machine, and you get to recompile them to update. And even if you don't, all it takes is one update to the wrong /usr/include file, and you end up recompiling 3/4 of the binaries in /usr. pgpESCWh4buEl.pgp Description: PGP signature
