thanks a lot for your support, i'm very happy to see that my praises have
been answered :=). now, i have another question: where can i find the
kernel? i've looked aroud (redhat.com, rpmfind etc...) but i found only the
2.2.16 kernel in the rpm format.  maybe i have to take it in tar format at
kernel.org? howether, what i have to do after installing the new version of
kernel? is it enougth to have my card recognised and working or i have to
perform other passages?
