But this is my primary machine and I want to keep it stable. I also don't have that much of a need any more to use the usb phone/modem. If that changes, I might try a newer kernel. In fact I might try a backported kernel on another machine. I'll report back when I do. A. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
