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.
