It's a bit of a dark art getting some older drivers to compile with recent kernels. Yeah, I compiled it for the 2.6.21.5 kernel. I've attached the source. Some files are modified and you will see my initials 'BK' where I have made changes.

Note, it does work. I tested on a Thinkpad laptop.

Source tarball attached.

@ wolven / Q
d/l and burnt Wolvix Hunter yesterday and I must say I am very impressed, esp. with the control panel that sets up X, frugal or full install, etc. Also sound and internet straightaway.

Don't let DistroWatch find out about this. It will ruin our reputation...

I dunno, maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to me that the willingness to help with other distros, whenever possible, would enhance reputations. Not damage them.

You missed the DistroWatch brouhaha, I guess. I was being ironic...
