    I have one of these systems here to test, but it does not have a
    permanent connection. However, if there is ANYTHING I can do to help
    debug this, let me know. I am a C programmer and also sort of familiar
    with UNIX hacking, but I'm not experienced with kernel hacking.

    I will test again with 2.2.14 + your IDE patch from January. I'm not
    sure, but it might have been okay.
