Does that prevent the oops? > 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.
