which unfortunately doesn't help anyone who has a dreamplug which comes shipped as standard with a 2.6.32 <= .35 kernel. especially on learning that the default shipped kernel just works and on learning of this dog's dinner mess don't want to go anywhere near a kernel upgrade. >> >> this is a long-standing issue, it would be good to have it sorted out. > > If you're running debian kernels (the 3.2 from wheezy or any kernel > newer than 2.6.32-35 on squeeze), it should already be fine.
