We had a (different) bug report involving exactly this external driver at some older post 2.6.23 kernel where it turned out it was a problem in this driver - and this one also looks really like a problem in their driver. Generally, problems with external drivers should be reported to the vendors of these drivers and not here (unless it's clear it's a bug in the kernel and not in the driver). > Thanks cu Adrian -- "Is there not promise of rain?"
