I've tried to compile and insert the ne 2.1 nozomi driver.
With my Ubuntu Dapper with 2.6.15-26-686 Kernel, there will be a warning during compile.

When i try to load the module, it dosn't work.

Attached the messages:

COMPILE:

It seems that 2.6.15 is a transitional kernel - so some distros with 2.6.15 don't have the tty_flip structure but have a tty_buffer_request_room function.

If you have a 2.6.15 kernel but the driver fails compilation with "tty_buffer_request_room" your solution will be to try the older 2.6 compile options by deleting the lines 88-89 of nozomi.c :

#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE > KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,14)
#define KERNEL_2_6_14
#endif

Cheers,
