>or what ?? (Yes I know my newness to linux is showing. But how else >do you learn ??). I cant help you very much, but I am sure someone else will. But. You shouldn't really be using the Developmental kernel (any 2.1.* is a developmental one) unless you really need to, or you know what you are doing fairly well and want to contribute to the devlopment of the kernel. I think that most drivers compile to modules that can be inserted into and out of the kernel at runtime. They should be well documented so read the README files, and look at the howtos on modules, and the Kernel. I hope this meager bit of knowledge helps ...
