The only potential help is to unload as many drivers as possible, and then try reloading: $ sudo modprobe agrmodem $ sudo modprobe agrserial With respect to the preliminary unloading do: $ lsmod start from the top of the list with: $ sudo modprobe -r driverName and work your may down. Do record which modules to unload, so an automation script can be written to do the job next time. Periodically check again with: $ lsmod MarvS On Wed, Apr 6, 2011 at 3:54 PM, M.
