For this reason, I would like to excuse me if I stressed you all with my emails.
However, just let me say that I've tried to send all information I could find before to claim for a bug/problem of amsn (change revision, undate driver, change kernel, change usb port...), and I've asked for your help in order to understand if the problem was really related to amsn.
