hi i compared the two config files. there is an additional usb entry in the 2.2.20 config: config_hotplug=y everything else in usb is identical. just for fun, i tried unplugging and re-plugging the usb cable.. no joy. so does anyone have any suggestions? this is the first real thing i have found so far. thanks again dave -- Dave Mallery, K5EN (r/h 7.2 krud; debian woody) PO Box 520 Ramah, NM 87321 no gates .~. no windows... /V\ /( )\ running GNU/Linux ^^-^^ (Linux TM Linus Torvalds) free at last! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
