    At 02:00 GMT this side, I'm too lazy to look, but some of the drivers
    are for x86_64. Are you willing to fund me an AMD 64 + motherboard and
    memory for that answer?
    I haven't tried the driver yet as I want to use it with 2.6.0-mm1 kernel
    perhaps tomorrow when I've had some sleep and I am not in a coffee
    stupor, having just waded through an hour and a half of hand patching
    2.6.0-mm1 with the laptop patch.
    Regards
    Sid.
