Try a kernel like 2.6.0-test5, that helped me a lot when 2.4.2x was crashing all the time when I used USB modules. However I say it that way because although I had some success with that version I have not yet tried later ones. I've seen problems reported here with USB and the later 2.6.0-test kernels so YMMV. Be aware that there may be other problems with test kernels, don't use them without caution on discs which contain valuable data. In particular I have had fdisk delete the wrong partition under 2.6.0 so be especially careful when messing about with filesystems. I also have suspicions about the reliability of the TCP/IP stack in 2.6.0-test5 but I admit that I don't have very strong evidence. 73, Ged. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
