I am just reading all your notes now.  Good information! Thank you!  Damn 
something must have changed in 3.2.  I am just getting my development guruplug 
upgraded to the latest -current so I can work on this and it is taking some time 
since I am working on a microSD card again. I used to have a 80g attached HD but 
I'm trying to turn one of my sheevas into a dev platform for other things, so I 
am patiently waiting for the guru to catch up to -current.  The last kernel I 
was running was 3.1.2. I had issues upgrading to 3.1.5 (-current at the time) so 
I havent upgraded since.  I'm gonna plow into this 3.2.6 now.

Compiles take a while on this setup so please be patient.

Poppin' on the GCC fins, got my Makefile wetsuit, and put on the kernel source 
mask and snorkel and I'm GOING IN!  I'll be back!

Oh man that was a short trip... I still cant get the newer -current kernels to 
boot on my guruplug.  Did you have to rebuild yours from scratch?  I am going to 
attempt that now.  This is why I stopped upgrading.

(... and cue up Depeche Mode's "Enjoy the Silence" ...)

Going back to 3.1.2 and try to rebuild 3.2.6 from that.  Then maybe I can look 
at the UAP drivers.
