My pc runs Debian Squeeze with kernel 3.1.0.1
I have installed latest ISE Webpack, all softvare components instaled fine, expect the windrvr6 driver which is needed for iMPACT, withouth this driver it is not abel to set up the jtag chain with the usb cabel. (i have a Digilent Basys2 (spartan3e) starter kit)
Install log (installed with root privilegs):

The "lsusb" command show my device as "Digilent CoolRunner-II CPLD Starter Kit" - it is normal.
Then i followed this possible solution: http://rmdir.de/~michael/xilinx/
Whit this new driver, the iMPACT don't write about missing windrvr6 driver but still can't connect with my spartan kit.
Alternatively i have tryed the xc3sprog
multiplatform programmer, but this program also can't recognise my device.
The iMPACT works in windows7 for me with this spartan kit, so there is must be a way to program my device in Debian.
