Alan: after re-reading your post, I have to retract my earlier
statement. It seems *your* problem is a separate one from the one that
Dan and I are having!
I am running on 2.6.37. I just tried to upgrade to 3.2.6 earlier today
but ran into some other problems (there seems to be a bug in the
linux-3 kernel that breaks WEP for ath9k wireless cards, that and for
some reason `shutdown -h now' halts but does not power off; both are
known and there are patches, just haven't made it into the tree yet).
The problem I was reporting has nothing to do with the kernel (same
kernel since last August).
