I would be happy to test the driver for you. Or if there's any experiments you'd like to try, let me know. The machine is at home (away from where I am during the day), however every evening I can try things out, if it will help you find the problem. One thing I failed to make clear is that I'm talking about the Linux variant of the driver, not the *BSD version (forgetting that this list covers more than just Linux). -Mike On Wed, 5 Apr 2000, Doug Ledford wrote: > Mike Isely wrote: > > > > Well I've heard precisely zero feedback about this.
