Hi, I have had a problem with a USB LAN device, Portgear Xircom PGENET-10, in all Linux 386 distros since about kernel 2.6.11 . The Xircom uses the Kaweth driver. I have two older distros, Mepis kernel 2.6.10 and Kanopix 2.6.11-kanotix-7 installed. They both recognized the USB LAN and connected to the Internet when they load themselves. Since then something was done to the kernel and even if I "modprobe" the Kaweth driver for the Xircom and the driver lists in "lsmod" the OS won’t recognize the USB device. This Xircom LAN is critical to my operation and I am unable to bring up the Internet since these last two Debian based distros. Any advice for a person who is not a newbie, but not a Linux whiz either, would be much appreciated. If data such as the output from "lsmod", "dmesg", "lspci", etc. are needed I would be most happy to send it.
