Chris,

if I report that something is not working (and it is not connected to
my hardware, as it was working fine with previous kernels...) it is a
kind of testing: and using Fedora in a real environment (offices...not
software houses, but real life, writing, making calculations, and so
on.) is very interesting also for developers.
If I say that my USB stick was fine on previous kernels and now not
any longer I am here to give additional informations according to my
skills.And it is the same for scanner (fine in previous kernels, not
now): of course if I should have tested only my USB external disks I
should have not reported any problem, as they are fine. Stop
