I tried that on one for a 2.2.1-RELEASE install (I'd always used 2940's before with much joy), but with no success, so it doesn't appear to be a general workaround. I replaced it with a Tekram 390U, which made both the kernel and me happier. I would say avoid, unless it's been sorted out in the latest snapshot, though it does still appear to be severly crippled in comparison to previous 2940s. Johnhome | help
