Hi again,
Actually you can also do "modinfo pwc" and it tells
the developer and version (Saillard.org and 10.0.12),
but what I still do not understand is that when I
compile pwc as I previously did, the pwc.ko is over
600kb while the stock pwc.ko even in FC6 is only 95kb
or so. Seems like a huge diff.
