Thank you very much.
Luc, work for me too. 
It sounds a bit like a pity, I'm really sorry such an amount of time
wasted for you _only_ for that foolish reason, more when we all already
suspected that the problem was in FC4 kernel source, not in the pwc
driver. 
Maybe the IRC could have been a good resource here, I am not an expert
in Linux computing, but I think I am reasonably good at following
instructions, I'd be available for that.
Actually, IIRC, I don't "fight" with a kernel since RH9 (2.4.x kernel
series), and I'd forgotten those kernel compilation commands. 

Regards, 

Daniel
