Probably -current does. not as far as i've been able to tell, sadly. i've got -current on a fairly modern laptop (toshiba satellite pro 4600), cranking away.. but, untill i have a machine who's hardware is supporting USB2.0, i guess i won't know. -------/ f. johan beisser /--------------------------------------+ http://caustic.org/~jan jan@caustic.org "John Ashcroft is really just the reanimated corpse of J.
