They usually are well supported. I'm wondering what changed in that driver between the 2.2.x and 2.4.0-test series (then again, what hasn't changed...there were quite a few drivers that were practically rewritten). > The 2.4 series have been nothing but painful on my system.

I know that API has tested USB support successfully under 2.4.0-test kernels, but I'm not sure if they were using the Adaptec driver or if they had installed another SCSI adapter and used that instead. I'll ask... > I'm not willing nor experienced enough to try something like > this. I'll just keep trying until one of the kernels works. Hehehehe...ok. I'll see if I can look at the driver source in the next few days to see if I notice anything obvious... C
