| Amen. USB 2.0 orinoco wireless drivers seems to have problems when user space
| is set to 1GB. Works grat with 2GB ad 3GB user space settings. Problem occurs during
| any acces to usb_read_device(). This doesn't look like a ABI problem, looks like

What kernel version? I can't even find usb_read_device() in 2.6.9-rc1.

BTW, as someone else requested, please teach your mail client to wrap
lines around column 70-72. Thanks.
