Thanks. I just got a notice, for the first time, about HTML... Didn't realize that I was doing that, but this message should be plain text. Let me know if it isn't.
It's bad news about my MB probably being the culprit; I've got an MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI board, which is to say a board with only 3 slots (since the MB contains goodies like USB, firewire, NICs, etc.). Does anyone know for sure that the MB is just never going to worth with Linux for hi-speed USB, or are there other things to try? Specifically, I can still try a BIOS update, noacpi, rpm updates, etc? Or is that just a lost cause? Steve On 6/23/05, Stephen J.
