As far as I know I havent installed any drivers yet Regards, Jeffi80

If you have updated your kernel via YOU (Yast Online Update) since installing SuSE, you'll have to update the kernel-source package via YOU as well. __________________ There are two major products that come out of Berkeley: LSD and UNIX.

Never heard about YOU I think that there is some kind of problem with building the driver because I used make commands when I installed other applications and it worked without any errors.
