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().

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.
