Many thanks, Ian.
I had found the two urls you give, and there seems to a driver in
the latest kernels that should work. So far I haven't proved this
as I decided to compile 2.6.8 in Sid and build the driver in. I
always build kernels 'the debian way', but I was unaware the
kernel-package had been changed significantly, so I'm temporarily
delayed.
Your response will be very helpful; I am most grateful for this.
John.
