You've got a lot further than I have with USB2.0 using those kernels and usb-storage. I use mostly memory cards (up to 32Mbyte) and Zip discs (up to 250MByte). All I got was crashes, hangs or oopses, especially when trying to unload modules. I gave up at 2.4.21 and went to 2.5.69 which is much better. Although I've still had little success with USB2.0 (I haven't worked hard at it because I'm so sick of it not working) I'm finding 1.1 is much more usable so you might think it's worth a try. There were some filesystem issues I found with 2.5.69 using mkswap and fdisk/cfdisk, so be careful if you try it. The make and part number of the PCI USB controller might be an issue, can you give more details? I'd like to try to get one to try it out. 73, Ged. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
