Currently only kernel2.6.32 is supported, where can I download the drivers for kernel 2.6.31
When I run/build the 2.6.32 drivers in the 2.6.31 kernel the system breaks completely on the moment the tuners locks
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=9.10
DISTRIB_CODENAME=karmic
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 9.10"
Kernel 2.6.31-21-generic

current driver that is compatible with Linux kernel 2.6.32 is compatible with all older kernels too - we've tested even with two years old Linux kernel version like 2.6.24-24.
so, the problem you are experiencing is something else. please, change PCI-Express slot - maybe, your TBS 6980 is sharing IRQ with some other hardware in your computer and that is causing a conflict.
also, you can post or check your "/var/log/messages" file if some error about 6980 is reported before the crash.
