Ah.... yep, looks like I'm running version 1.0.6.  I'm running Fedora 
Core 2, so now my next question... How do I upgrade? :-)

Are the instructions on the net somewhere?  I installed everything from 
atrpms, so it looks I can't upgrade that way?  I'm experienced with 
Linux so I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty.  :-)  Does this require a 
kernel recompile?

Thanks again for all the help,
Michael
