Thomas, Thanks for the info on this, I've looked into using the Option devices (USB) in the past but always struggled to get them working properly, perhaps it's time I have it another shot with this information you've given :-). The 6b board is really nice, it's just the wrong footprint for me, it's a shame as I really like the idea of the Mini-PCI express card, unfortunately the 3C doesn't support pci express so I'll be stuck with USB for the moment :-)

The GTM378 card requires a driver called "hso". It will be included in maintream 2.6.27 kernel. i can compile it with 2.6.23-486-voyage but it's not stable (crashing the system now and then). So i took 2.6.26 and recompiled with geode option, unionfs patch and leds-alix module. No more crashes, but also the card said "no signal". After checking antennas and 1000 other things (not counting hours), i removed the leds- alix modul and then signal quality was good. No idea what the link is between leds and the miniPCI-e card. If anybody is interested, I wrote also an script to control the setup of the interface, i can provide it. - Thomas _______________________________________________ Voyage-linux mailing list [email protected] http://list.voyage.hk/mailman/listinfo/voyage-linux _______________________________________________ Voyage-linux mailing list [email protected] http://list.voyage.hk/mailman/listinfo/voyage-linux
