Or miss-handling it as the case may be :-)

It would appear so.  I think now the question is, do I need some 
aliases setup in my modprobe.conf in order to force the correct 
loading sequence?

I saw those, never been able to use a mndrk rpm here.

Did that, rather quiet list.  I fixed it so it would make but its only 
working with the camera turned off!  If I turn it on, the shell that 
launches it soon fills up with "resource temporarily unavailable" 
messages.

Humm, my fix might need another.  Do long self allocating strings 
still need a terminating \0 in C, inside the dbl quotes?  OTOH, I've 
not seen either error string actually spit out (yet).  I've been 
under the impression that most modern compilers handle that silently 
and well.

With the camera turned off, I can get this out of gscanbus:

With it turned on, I get the same report but it takes lots of time, 
and its locked up, whereas with the camera off, the report above is 
instant.

I going to shut down long enough to verify the chips on that card, 
just to satisfy my own itch.  I only have one, and it actually came 
in a Digital Research box several years ago, staples had a 20 dollar 
bill on it and I figured what the hey...  I suppose I could drag out 
the cd, but thats all winderz stuff, less than helpfull to an anti-M$ 
like me.

One other item that might bear, the card claims S400 speed, but the 
camera only claims S100, is the protocol not auto-negotiating?
