I am aware of that. However the Visor support in 2.3.99 is very good
(never had a visor problem with the 2.3.99 kernel.

Again, I ran Visor USB w/o a problem with the 2.3 kernel. However it
does look like the source tree has a new version. Perhaps the backport
is more unstable than the 2.3 version. In any case, I did have this
exact problem back with the 2.3.40 kernel (or something in that range)
and it was fixed.
