The current policy is that all drivers should be present on the |
| 14 |
installation image, but obviously that is not the case. The sources for |
| 15 |
the installation image will be made public shortly, from what I gather |
| 16 |
when prodding drobbins about it. |

I am not certain if the installation image is compiled with kernel |
| 19 |
versioning. If it is, you would have to make certain you compiled the |
| 20 |
module for the exact same kernel (wasn't it 2.4.8-ac8 ?). |

I would think that you need not recompile the kernel binary itself, only |
| 23 |
the module. |

However, I'm certain the next installation image (which will probably |
| 27 |
show up today or tomorrow) will contain this module now that we've been |
| 28 |
made aware of its absence. |
