Neither upgrading the BIOS nor fiddling with USB settings had any effect. I'm currently running 2.6.22 and built a 2.6.23 to check. That didn't work. On a lark, I tried older kernels. Those didn't work. Here's a rather annoying quirk about USB that I have become painfully aware of lately. USB cards that include internally-accesable ports almost always provide them as female type A jacks. Motherboards on the other hand always provide internal USB ports as pairs in 5x2 headers. The only kind of internally-mounted device I've found that wants to plug into a type A jack is one specific make and model of hub that fits into a 3.5" bay. Everything else like extra ports and card readers all want to plug into 5x2 headers. This has led me to acquire a powered minihub and graft onto it headers and a hard drive power jack. -- David Griffith [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.
