Hi Punkjy,

(Great name BTW!!!)

That's brilliant. Should I run that with dpkg -i xxx.deb or is there anything special I need to do.

I know this is asking a bit much but I will anyway. The boxes I use are the eBox-2300-SX from Icop ( Ibought mine through ewayco in taiwan). It was not clear that these boxes were SX (no math co processor) and had a weird Ethernet card (R6040) for which there was no linux driver. It turns out that you have to compile in the patch they supply into the kernel.

The tgz link above is for the patch.

I know that if you created the Voyage, there would be good demand as lots of people have problems with these boxes and the ethernet driver.

I'll tell you how I get on upgrading the box (debian sarge) with the image you supplied.

Thanks again.
