Yeah, I checked that.... I'm recompiling the entire kernel right now in
the hope that the !@#$!!! firmware will be built.... I did uncheck the
"do not build firmware" and selected the 19Qi firmware, so we'll see
if the computer gods view my actions favorably.... :-)

Have you hooked your adapter to a serial device? The OS doesn't see the
Keyspan device itself, it sees the device that's connected to it. I've
used mine with a modem which I had no trouble configuring with Fedora Core.
