Given that using recent firmware and drive software works and stock doesn't, I personally have a hard time saying that the configuration is wrong. Being old-fashioned I conclude that the thing you change to fix a problem is most likely the thing that caused the problem in the first place. can't speak to the 2100, I have a 2200, and with the current firmware and driver it works. -- bill davidsen CTO TMR Associates, Inc While an unsigned integer can never be negative, it can be less than zero for sufficiently large values of zero. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
