You just top posted, again. #0: fuck Outlook, and anything like it.
FOLLOW, or intercollate, with the responses to your email. Follow, as in
put your response AT THE BOTTOM, of the email, not the top.
Just the way I'm responding to the email, above. Think of it as a
conversation - you know what someone's said, *before* you respond. Top
posting means I have no idea what you're responding to - you're not
talking to someone in person.... And for anyone coming into an email
thread late... I, and I think most folks, have *zero* intention of going
to the bottom of an email which contains everything said in the thread,
esp. with nothing edited out, and reading down a message, then paging up
to read the response, then paging up *again* to read the next response.
That's a M$ asinine introduction, and I despise it, since it makes it
incredibly difficult to follow what's going on.
I dunno, though - just dd'ing in the driver isn't going to work, if you
mean that you dd'd the driver itself in, or was there an .rpm? If the
latter, you need to find out what it does when it installs - where the
actual driver's supposed to go, in what subdirectory, and then, of course,
the last step would be to insmod it, and *then* rebuild the initrd so that
it's included on boot.
