There were a couple times when newer kernels had simple mistakes that broke modules supporting old hardware. Others had already filed bug reports by the time I encountered issues, and fixes were not long in appearing. I recall seeing reports of bugs in early USB3 hardware. Over the years, linux has had workarounds for hardware idiosyncrasies. I think some of those workarounds are being dropped or lost as support for newer hardware is added with new and improved code. You should not be surprised by issues with recent kernels and hardware over a decade old. -- George N. White III
