(I actually > bought the stick when he announced preliminary support ;(. Can you both play with the msleep in dib0700_core.c:232 ?

Releasing the specs to everyone would not help in this situation, because the problem which is seen by some of you is very specific to Linux/the Linux-driver. So far I have no real clue what it is. Maybe the msleep is not delaying things as its call claims to... I'm trying to find some time soon to get into this issue.
