I don't dispute the possibility that there is some *other* bug that effects users who have some other value for HZ, but neither I nor the other use saw it. Without this patch though, the device is broken for *everybody*. I would suggest checking in this patch, and separately the HZ issue can be investigated. I'll see if I can find some cycles today to reconfigure my kernel with a different HZ. Will also check the datasheets and see if Conexant documented any sort of time for power ramping. It's not uncommon for such documentation to include a diagram showing timing for power up. Devin -- Devin J.
