A change have broken in particular modem_run and eciadsl-synch. a patch could repare that http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/ipcop/ipcop/src/patches/Attic/linux-2.4.28-usb-devio.patch?rev=1.1.2.1&only_with_tag=IPCOP_v1_4_0&view=log but you will need to recompile you kernel after applying the patch I have tested eagle-usb without the patch (on non smp machine) and have not seen a problem but one on the list have reported the patch help. I think you should test 2.1.rc1 Gilles
