I don't know of anyone using 2.4.0-test12. 2.4.0 is much more stable since
it has some important stability fixes for ia64.
If they can't use 2.4.0 kernels, that means they're running an old
stepping of the CPU's, and autoloading of the USB modules are the least
of their concerns.

Exactly. If they REALLY must use pre 2.4 kernels, they have other issues
to worry about. They can manually load the modules or patch themselves.
Keith, please, let it go.
