Hi Andy<br><br>I have fairly recent kernels in both Suse (2..6.22.17), and Debian (<a href="http://2.6.18.6">2.6.18.6</a>). Although I cannot see any reference to the Airprime driver, in either system.<br><br>From what I see on the net that is for the 2.4 kernels?<br>

<br> That'll be a hotkey event, install acpi-support and see if that helps<br> at all, check the contents of /var/log/acpid to see if its actually<br> registering the keypresses.<br> <br> It's either fired off through ACPI or its own custom input device,<br>
hopefully it's the first and a lot easier to resolve :)<br> <br> What model is it?<br> <br> > I've tried plugging in a USB network<br> > adaptor with no luck either - lsusb showed the adaptor was identified etc<br>

picking up the wifi card first, i suspect it is but it would be good<br> to know what type it is.<br> <br> --<br> Andrew Williams<br> w: <a href="http://tensixtyone.com/">http://tensixtyone.com/</a><br> e: <a href="mailto:andy@tensixtyone.com">andy@tensixtyone.com</a><br>

limiting the max speed that can be sent over usbserial. It would be OK<br> if your using a proper RS232 connection but for the likes of 3g modems<br> it needs a bit more legroom to support the full speed.<br> <br> <a href="http://www.junxion.com/opensource/linux_highspeed_usbserial.html">http://www.junxion.com/opensource/linux_highspeed_usbserial.html</a><br>
<br> Thats a nasty hack to the usbserial core, best way to go about it<br> (accordingly) is to use the airprime driver, i think 2.4.24 has it<br> already in the airprime driver (not too clear from the git commit<br> logs).<br>
