David(author) and I and a bunch of others are fairly convinced that it's a bug in the USB stack. We can get PPP to work, but the "standard" stuff doesn't seem to. Josef Karthauser(SP?) drops by occasionally, but seems to be VERY busy with school. I'd love to test stuff, but Joe seems to think that the 5-CURRENT stack and 4-STABLE stack have diverged significantly. I'd be willing to test 4-STABLE patches, but my laptop HDD isn't big enough for me to run 5-CURRENT as well as 4-STABLE. One of the other Pilot-Link guys had threatened to send me a 40G Laptop HDD, but that hasn't happened yet. I'm still willing to help if I can......
