So it's the modem's driver or the USB subsystem. > >- Which kernel?

I could try some older releases... I don't know about Mandrake, but RedHat publish new kernels occasinoally for their distros. Please make sure you're using the latest RedHat errata kernel. Anyway, both RedHat and Mandrake ship heavily modified kernels. You should also try a vanilla kernel. Sometime a patch that one of the distros adds does more damage than good. Try 2.4.20pre11, if you can. > >- Recompile USB with all debugging options and do the > >/var/log/messages dance. > > You're overestimating my abilities - this is my first attempt at Linux.

It sounds like the driver (I use this term loosely) in the kernel you're using is broken, so either we fix the driver (which needs debug messages) or we try a kernel that might have an updated driver. Does it happen with any other USB device? -- Muli Ben-Yehuda http://www.mulix.org/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sctrace strace /bin/foo http://syscalltrack.sf.net/ Quis custodes ipsos custodiet? ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
