What is this empty directory?!?! 2)my xe (Xircom pccard) network adapter is no longer recognised, it was in 4.4 and it is compiled in the GENERIC driver, what gives? I've have googled and searched this mailing list but to no avail. please cc gavinkenny@yahoo.co.uk many thanks Gavin __________________________________________________ Yahoo!
