Would anyone recommend a kernel other than 2.2.20 for USB support? I'm having problems, even after following many steps in many threads and howto pages. I did read kernels 2.2.x have only flaky USB support, maybe that is the problem. Thanks, Jenny.

Might be 2.2.xx related, I've been using 2.4.18 with USB quite happily (famous last words?) since June. Keith ____________ 'Remain steadfast...and one day you will build something that endures; something worthy of your potential.' - Epictetus
Ive been using a range of 2.4.x kernels on my IBM Thinkpad since Feburary 2001 with little problem. The biggest problem was the occasional Win device showing up that Linux did not have a driver for. Winmodems arrggghhhhh..... On Fri, 2002-10-04 at 14:42, Jenny_Hopkins@toby-churchill.com wrote:

What kind of problems? 2.2 may not be as good as 2.4 but it should all work ok, although maybe a jump in kernel version will fix things as I was having problems recently with 2.4.18 until 2.4.19 came out. Adam

I am using 2.4.18 with USB zip drive, CD writer, dell keyboard and mouse and they all worked out of the box. ian
