OK - got it. No, I didn't try the official driver from your company website. I did switch over to the Livna driver, and that does work. For now, I'll have to do the wait-a-day-or-two dance to get the new kmod when new kernels are released, which is why I prefer to use the freshrpms repo, which includes the dkms package that does the build of the new module on the fly, each time I reboot after installing a new kernel. I have used the official driver in the past and that's OK - I just prefer to use the packages from the repos and my regular package manager to do these tasks, when/if they all work together. I'll wait a few days and see how things sort themselves out -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD, USA
