Thank you for the link, I have the software, and when I build 2.6.27.3 for this 
machine I will include the driver and test drive it.

What kernel works with this? I tried it with 2.6.26.6-72 (last digit from 
memory) and it blew up on the 2nd .c file, saying something was called with bad 
args. Sounds like one of those cases where the kernel macros have changed, or 
functions rewritten, or ... Anyway, didn't work for me, I've been down eight 
days with a cold, and I'll look at it after the election.
