Heh. I hand-copied the Oops and fed it through ksymoops. That got the
driver developer to the point of isolating it, sort of. Seems that RH
tweaks the USB code, so he's a little bit stuck. So maybe I need to bug
Rick Bero, instead of AC. Or switch to a distro which uses a standard
kernel. <Sigh> There are times when Linux could do with a little more
standardization.
