I'm not sure what this means. 2.1.5 is an OS, not a driver. > 2.1.6 has all the support for the Cyclom-Y board > already built-in. 2.1.0 had almost all the available support for the Cyclom-Y board. It differs from the 2.1.7 version in just 4 lines (a minor bug fix involving not setting the physical speed to 0 when the logical speed is set to 0). Unfortunately, the cy driver in 2.1.7 is missing a major bug fix for carrier handling in CLOCAL mode. This is fixed in 2.2 and -current, but the -current driver won't work under 2.1.x. Bruce
