Several commands are not available, e.g. insmod, modprobe, lspci. I am 
wondering if it is all caused by the upgrade instead of a new install of 
RH9?! I have tried to do the "make", "insmod", and "install" procedure 
as described in the release text on the driver-cd-rom and only get error 
messages. Since I have only "played" with my RH-partion nothing 
important will be deleted so I'll try a new install. If I still have 
problems I will return.
Thanks for now
