It leaves you (and others) with the problem partially isolated, so that
someone with time to track it down will have that much less work to do.

A third-best would be for someone (you?) to find out exactly which patch
caused the problem -- a binary search of the USB patches, luckily it's
made easier by the fact that it could only be a change in HID, usbcore,
or some HCD. (And most likely IMO it's usbcore.) Then that patch can
either be further debugged, or reverted.

OK, I'm willing since I'm stuck with 2.6.7-ck5 which eventually bugs due to some USB problems. I'm not a developer so I need a little help learning how to get the USB patches added somewhere in between 2.6.7 and 2.6.7-mm2/2.6.8-rc1. I'm kinda busy right now so maybe I didn't search the kernel.org website well enough, but I've reached the conclusion I'll need to use bk or the cvs interface. So if someone can give me a quick and dirty tutorial or point me to where I can read up on this (or just give me some google search terms) I'd be willing to apply patches until it breaks and try to figure out what's going wrong.

Thanks,

Wes
