I've compiled the 2.4.18 kernel.org source on a Mandrake 8.1 system and the reader works. I also did a comparison of the file sizes of all the files in drivers/usb of the 3 different sets of sources and they are the same. I did try to compile 2.4.18 (kernel.org) on Woody, but being new to debian I must be doing something wrong because I couldn't get it to boot - I'll think about that tomorrow. So I'm just confused, but the fact that the reader works when 2.4.18 is compiled on Mandrake shows its not a problem with the kernel.org source. Oh and this is using the standard UHCI driver. -- John Keniry http://www.ice-nine.co.uk GIMP Photo-Editing -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
