Paul,
I am afraid I need the kernel because I tried to compile my driver in FC3 like
I do in Mandrake and I ended up with an error message something like "no
Rule.....found" (sorry I do not have it in mind as I am on Mandrake now)
simply because to compile something tied up to the kernel a kernel source is
needed, but I will go later in the day trough your doc reference and look at
what is said.
Regards.
