good news

[Gregory Nowak]

Hi,

I currently have kernel 2.2.18 installed. I already downloaded the pctel
modem driver (pctel.zip), but since there is no documentation with it, I
don't know how to make the kernel ask me for it when I do 'make config'.

kernels (2.4.0 and above). These later kernels have this support merged in
with the kernelsource tree. Just answer Y to the HPT366 IDE chipset to
include the relevant support.

There's also a version for the 2.4 kernels if you ever need it. I don't have
one of these modems, so I don't know how well the driver works.

problems under linux to which I refered to on this list a while back.  I sat
down and did a search for the manufacturer of those controllers which is
highpoint technologies.  I found their site and on it a patch for the 2.2.16
kernel or higher for linux.  If anybody has an Abit be6-ii motherboard or
Highpoint Technologies 366-370 controllers and wants a kernel patch for them
to be recognized under linux, go to:

is that I got my sblive card to work without alsa but with the kernel
drivers.  The only piece of hardware left is that pctel modem of mine.
