If I use the 2.4.21 kernel wich supports the mirroring features of this card, then my ADSL modem Alcatel)is not detected by the drivers (Avalible on source forge.) I have sucesfully extracted the files from the 2.4.21 kernel and patched the 2.4.18 kernel with this code. The seems to work fine and compiled without any probs. The only problem is that during the tape backup routine each night a kernel panic occures when gzip is running. If I use bzip it works fine. the obvious solution to this is if the bug preventing the 2.4.21 kernel from using the modem is fixed. I am using exactly the smae settings in the config file for both kernels so no items are missing that the drivers supports. many Thanks James Cronin
