Just compiled the dmascc driver here for a RH8.0 machine, but I used the default config file from the RH kernel rpm (in directory /usr/src/linux-2.4/configs) as my base config and just added the dmascc module to the build. Works fine. I haven't tried it before, but you may be able to grab the appropriate config file from an official kernel rpm and just apply it to the build of a complete kernel source tree from kernel.org. BTW, what kind of card are you using (using PI2's here) ... Niall (VE7HEX)
