Unfortunately, I am constrained to use the 2.4= kernel by another software package that I have to use, which doesn't yet= support 2.6. It appears to me that the 8541/8555 support was put into 2.6= and never back-ported to 2.4. I'll take a look at the manuals today and= compare the 8540 to the 8541: perhaps I can live with the 8540 support= that does appear to be in the 2.4 kernel. If not, hopefully the porting= job won't be very difficult. Thanks for your help! Dan.
