You could try to take the e1000 source code from U6 and put it in the U2 kernel, then recompile. Or simply recompile the U6 driver against the U2 kernel, although this might turn more difficult than the first... Due to the other changes (including security related) I would suggest trying to get U6 to play nice with your KVM as the best solution. -- Bogdan Costescu IWR - Interdisziplinaeres Zentrum fuer Wissenschaftliches Rechnen Universitaet Heidelberg, INF 368, D-69120 Heidelberg, GERMANY Telephone: +49 6221 54 8869, Telefax: +49 6221 54 8868 E-mail: Bogdan.Costescu-PDzUyZpvkMP/PDbm/[email protected]
