According to what I read, from a simple Google search, it was mentioned 
that the 1.10 version flat out didn't work. You should have an install 
CD with the new version reported to work, unless you got this hardware 
used. Maybe they could send you the CD or provide a ink to get the CD 
.iso file? I'd be raising hell about it, with the vendor, for not 
providing you with the install CD that stands ~some~ chance to work.

Apparently you are beating a known dead horse, from the various posts I 
read. I'd be looking for a RMA to return it for credit in order to 
purchase another brand, that supports Linux, if at all possible, if they 
refuse to release the newest version to you. (if you bought it new) Ric
