The 2.1.7 and 2.2.1 releases were DEFINITELY NOT stable with this device however!!! Subsequently, I've setup a system to allow cvsup'ing the 2_2_RELENG branch and I've seen even a few more updates to the AHC driver from the 2.2.2-RELEASE sources. Havn't tried building and installing a new kernel on the proxy machine tho so it's still running 2.2.2-R ... Tony
