    Before start the downgrade to FC1 or move to another linux distro, would
    any body, please, kindly let me know what source driver I should get for
    my "82801BA/BAM/CA/CAM Ethernet Controller" (Laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro
    4600) to be compiled and re-installed ? Even any tips (manuals, FAQs
    website addresses would be great) to compile a custom 2.6 (or 2.7 ?)
    kernel for my FC2 (running kernel 2.6.6.-1.435.2.3) would be greatly
    appreciatted.

    Thanks and kind regards,

    Alberto
