I don't have my TP at hand right now, but I will look into that later
and try it again.  I'm quite sure that it really were the very same 3.0
drivers.

What I did yesterday, with the new 2.4.19 kernel:

- Recompiled and installed 3.0 drivers  ->  See Rob's review.
- Recompiled tpctl-2.5, installed drivers, fixed modutils  ->  works.
