Hello,

I am using the 97xx (x64) version and suffering the same problems as 
described previously. Wonder if you can repackage it to support the new 
2.6.23 kernel.
Atm I am stuck with the 2.6.22.94 and, no, I don't  want to use any of 
the crappy 100.xx series. After the 100.09 I noticed a big performance 
downgrade, which forced me to revert back to the latest 97xx legacy 
driver, which is very stable and working really fine.

Regards,

Miquel
