I have been using the RealPort driver (40002086\_m.tgz) for an (old) Portserver on Slackware 10.2 and recently 11.0 quite successfully, in both cases with Kernel 2.4.\*. I recently upgraded to Kernel 2.6.17.13 and now can’t get the RealPort driver to compile. Wonder if I’m doing something wrong, or whether this Kernel is not supported, or whether I should be using a different driver?

Thanks

I recommend trying the pre-release driver candidate at:

Thanks a lot. I will try that.
