I do not know. I'll try to test it under 2.4.21 (ie, 2.4.21 + ACPI as USB won't work without ACPI on ATI-IGP+ALi combo, like my laptop. And that's a primary reason behind using 2.4.22-pre as ACPI is in the official 2.4 tree). > > Anyway, this is a known bug.

I'm now searching the usb-devel archives to understand this issue, but do you think the upcoming 2.4.22-pre3 might fix this issue? Thanks for your response :). -- Hari
