I'm all in favor of not banging my head against the wall (a long lasting =
family tradition I don't want to break).
How do I go about doing the "install the kernel-unsupported modules"  ?=20
All I was able to find so far was 'download,. compile into the kernel.. =
' options.
Do you have a link for that?
I always see the i2c instructions of how to incorporate into the kernel, =
but are you saying that I don't need to do that?
Or perhaps I didn't (very likely) understand you?

  Ummmm, because I like doing things the hard way?? It is so much more =
fun...
  No, probably because I didn't know they existed. Now I do.
  Thanks!

Why not just install the kernel-unsupported modules?
