This patch fixes this issue and has worked reliably for me under 2.5.31, though it is untested on 2.5.32 and 2.5.33 because I didn't manage to get those to work. A note to those that are a bit rough on kernel patch newbies.... submitting a kernel patch for the very first time is a rather intimidating experience so please don't chew my head off unless its absolutely necessary. -- GnuPG fingerprint AAE4 8C76 58DA 5902 761D 247A 8A55 DA73 0635 7400 James Blackwell -- Director http://www.linuxguru.net
