I used the kernel driver about 9 months ago but it wasn't reliable, the
userspace driver is brilliantly reliable and also I don't have to patch the
kernel, just looked at 2.5.40 and see it's in the kernel but I have been
using 2.4 till recently but there is still the speedmgmt application which
used to hang the machine on shutdown and also when the link was dropped and
you also need a ATM aware PPP daemon so the userpace driver is IMHO simpler
use.
Moving /usr/sbin/usbmodules to /usr/sbin/usbmodules.orig stops the kernel
panic, I get the following on boot
Starting hotplug subsystem: usb** can't synthesize root hub events.
Thanks
