I did, but the driver they have is for kernel 2.4 and FC2 is 2.6.
The driver is only available in source so I would have to compile it,
the last time I tried that it made a mess of my machine and I had to
reinstall fc2. So I am a little shy of trying it since I am not a linux
guru to try to fix the mess afterwards.
