But according to the page (http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm) linked to at the TNC-X site (http://www.tnc-x.com/USB4.htm), the custom Linux driver was only needed for 2.4 kernels, and it's stated that support is already included in 2.6 kernels. Perhaps someone here actually owns one and uses it with the USB module under Linux? -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 AHTB#1 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway?
