I do remember though we got past this on Gentoo. I think. I used the
2.4 kernel on Gentoo with a how-to, and was very close to getting it
to work. It did say how many volts the card was (the WAN card). I think
it was 3.3. I dont really know what to do, and he really needs internet
as he is a student. How do I get past a nobody cared?
Thanks a lot guys! :)
