Thanks. I was just there, and already have the thing. Unfortunately, it
happens to be an MCT U232-P9, which, while it *does* have a Linux driver,
the driver is only present in Linux 2.4.0. Now, I've gotten the tarball
and installed it, unfortunately, some things don't quite work properly.
I have the new modutils, but other than that, my system is stock Red Hat
7. I also have the hotplug scripts from linux-usb.org, but their
instructions are to use modutils instead of the policy scripts for
automatic loading. How do I do that? I have been unable to find any
documentation describing how to do it other than those cryptic statements
in the USB hotplugging docs. And it seems that NFS no longer works; I try
to mount my laptop's hard disk on my desktop often so that I can more
easily synchronize file changes back and forth; I can live without it, but
it is horribly cumbersome. Damn IBM and their design decisions!
