well i tried the 2.6.0 final driver from the geocity site and got this:

[root@localhost pctel]# ./install

** error

[root@localhost pctel]#

any idea's there?I looked at the other links you gave but couldnt make heads or tails of what i was looking at.

i went to the version.h file and changed

#include <linux/rhconfig.h> to

#include "rhconfig.h" (recomended by FAQ)

the result was:


[root@localhost pctel]# ./install

FAQ doesnt have an answer for this...

Hmm, did you read the whole FAQ?

Also, did you check out the other sites? One of their drivers might work.

Yep,been through the faq front to back...I havent seen another driver for 2.6 on the other sites...
