Slightly related topic :)

I have a Winfast VC100 XP card in my box (Athlon 2400XP / 1Gb RAM).  
After a couple of years (literally) chasing my tail with various card 
claiming to work in Linux but failing miserably this one apparently 
does.  I have a 2.6.11 kernel at the moment, apparently 2.6.12 would me 
less hassle but I don't know how to upgrade it (I've never really gone 
*that* far into the guts of Linux).

Could some kind soul please give me baby steps on getting my card to 
work?  I've googled around and it seems it will work with BTTV, the card 
number is apparently 114.

Kind regards,

Julian
