Hi Punky,

The package you sent with the recompiled kernel with the r6040 network drivers worked great. 

It's a pity the boxes themselves are so slow.

Thanks

Diarmuid

HI Punky

Yes I did order the system from Linitx.

I thought I would have had to re-compile the kernel for the net drivers but in this case I was lucky.

Do you want a dmesg output from the device?

I was looking for the lxfb module to have optimized support of the Geode
framebuffer.
I made an hand-check, then installed module-assistant too.
I see the lxfb module ins't available in the Voyage mainstream
distribution.

Someone with a solution?

Hi

I am not convinced why a geode lx driver is needed.  As far as I read 
from http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Hardware_Drivers and kernel 
documentation, framebuffer is for provide graphical support on kernel 
console.  Correct me if i am wrong.  Any other strong reason than that? 

Regards,
Punky
