Oops, hit "send" on the wrong window ... heh

It does sound like you haven't stripped the module - for something like that I could quite believe the huge difference being due to the debugging symbols and whatnot ... I can't quite remember how to use it but "man strip" would give you some clues. It's quite possible that the makefile is already set up such that a certain argument will run strip automatically (I can't check right now - I don't have a copy of the source handy and I'm sucking internet through a straw at the moment).

Alan,

I just did the make procedure per instructions.
Building it results in a 650KB pwc.ko module.  The
stock pwc.ko in FC6 is 95KB.  Seems like a big
difference.  I need it for a ToUcam Pro III (SDV
900NC) which needs to be supported as typedef 740.
