Hi Konstantin,

Thanks for sticking with me on this! At least I know I was looking in 
the right place now :) Still no NSC option though which is weird. To 
prove it, I've taken a screen shot and put it at:

You can see its a 2.6.6 kernel and that there's no NSC option there :(

Also:

tony@davros:/usr/local/src/linux-2.6.6$ cat .config | grep NSC
tony@davros:/usr/local/src/linux-2.6.6$

Argh! I can't work out why I can't see the module and you can :P
