Thanks STLPaul. Unfortunately I'm in way too deep now. Sorry. Although I'm keen to get stuck in I've never got into this sort of thing with Linux before. I'm very appreciative of your reply but I fear it's just raised more questions in my mind than answered.

1. How would compile my own kernel sources with that module enabled?
2. How would I enable the module?
3. What module?(!)
4. How would I determine it exists in 2.6.28?
and finally 5. What is 2.6.28?

Hey! I just answered 5 myself by searching. Forget 5.

Oh 'eck, go easy on me you lot
