USB 2.0 with Linux 2.4 is not what you expect to be. From what I have read about 2.6 there are massive improvements concerning USB 2.0. If you can't and won't wait for better USB 2.0 on upcoming Fedora Core 2 on April 5th you can check one of the 2.6 kernels which already some people have tested. > Greg Gulik http://www.gulik.org/greg/ > greg @ gulik.org Alexander -- Alexander Dalloz | Enger, Germany PGP key valid: made 13.07.1999 PGP fingerprint: 2307 88FD 2D41 038E 7416 14CD E197 6E88 ED69 5653
