Ok, so I got the kernelsource.dsl file but I'm a little confused as to how to use it.  I have DSL installed to the hard drive.  I need to put the .dsl file into my root linux folder and boot with parameter- mydsl-sda1?  Thanks for the help. :)

No..

This is how .dsl extensions are used..

Open emelfm.
Goto the directory containing your extension file.
( kernelsource.dsl )
Place your cursor on the chosen file, and click once to highlight it
Click on the "mydsl" button at the top center of Emelfm.
In a few moments, you'll see the desktop flash, and a message
appear in the command window at the bottom.

It is now installed.
Goto your /usr directory, and you should see a new src directory installed.

Adding ANY of the extensions, .dsl, .tar.gz, or .uci all work the same way.
Just click!  and run! ...

If it is an application, you will usually find a new option in the mydsl portion
of your desktop menu ( by right-clicking anywhere on the desktop ) to run it,
or many times it will place a new icon on your desktop to run from..

Ah ok.  Thank you very much.  I got the .dsl file working and it loaded correctly.  Sadly, I still can't get the InstallScript to work.  I even tried installing it manually and applying the kernel patch but it didn't work.  I'm going to go try to find out whether any of the new kernel versions have the new driver.  Thanks again for the help. :)
