Greg> What USB bugs have you reported that have gotten dropped? I'm sorry -- perhaps I shouldn't have said that. The USB bugs were actually the ones that did get attention. I overgeneralized, perhaps because I'm frustrated with the amount of problems that I get with Linux these days. I went ahead and retested all of my known USB problems against 2.4.22-pre5. It seems all usb-storage ones are gone, and there is only one bluetooth showstopper, fairly simple to reproduce: 1. boot the machine (using uhci) 2. insert a PCI BCM2033-based bluetooth adapter, observe the firmware getting loaded, don't actually bring the hci0 interface up, 3. remove the adapter, everything looks fine 4. try to rmmod uhci and get: kmem_cache_destroy: Can't free all objects c12c7b40 uhci: not all urb_priv's were freed =2D-J. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQA/ExHBLth4/7/QhDoRAhs8AJ9YhzgjgvCQ6KVKQo1dZpRtqyBsBwCfRZiv ETHUFC1MzN119AG/BYeAJ34= =FhXM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
