Re: howto info

[Dieter Raith <raith@rus.uni-stuttgart.de>]

I downloaded kernel 2.0.35 which seems to be the most actual production
kernel. I looked into ibmtr.c an saw the same version number of what I
have
in 2.0.30. So I think this will not help me.
The message I see in /var/log/messages is:

I am not sure if the driver automatically tries to reload, or if this a
consequence of
my trial to reload the driver, which fails.
Maybe it tells you guys something.
