All: thank-you for the help so far. I have posted this on gentoo-user as |
2 |
well, and will continue to work with folks individually here or publically |
3 |
on that list. |

The responses so far have helped - Bigfish (Richard), I may respond directly |

to your RFI as you may be able to pinpoint the driver(s) I'm missing. I have |
7 |
added driver support in newly compiled kernels and gotten different errors - |
8 |
but I think I'm close. |

Again all - thanks. I'll pursue on gentoo-user... |
