Ah - we are not compiling kernals here - just installing from a CD - in that
regard we are noobs to the linux world! is there any way of retro fitting
this as it were????
The removing of ds9490r module does not seem to work here - I will try
completely removing it as you suggest - but so far, running rmmod ds9290r
and then /etc/init.d/spm stop, start - is not working!
Thanks for you help
Sandy
