Hey ngoonee, ya, we've chatted in the Arch forums, before. and i also saw your pkgbuild.
This is covered on another thread on this list. You need to 'patch' the kernel, not the driver, some symbols are exported as GPL which prevents the driver from being used.
must have missed it, i will have a look back.
This is a licensing issue though, so I've held off implementing that patch in my own kernel PKGBUILD in Arch (linux-rt-ice). I think it is illegal to distribute such a patch, though using it on your own machine may be fine (those who are more knowledgable should correct me on this).
lame, that it isn't distributable. Well, assuming i can have a look at the patch, then i'll just patch it on my end. thanks for the info, jordan
