My question is this: Is it worth the time of downloading the new sources to get the PnP compatibility code, meaning, does it actually work with most standard PnP devices? I know that may sound shrewd, but I have a slow dial-up connection, and updating my source tree using cvsup is slow at best, not to mention the time it takes to 'make world'. Thank you in advance for your replies. Mark Cartwright
