Well, it's labeled as an experimental driver, and you
sure should have known what that means.  And I don't
think the I-Opener is supported at all.

More to the point, I don't recall seeing you report ANY
problems, with ksymoops etc, on the USB lists ... and
found none on a quick search of list archives either.
Oopses tend to get fixed quickly even for experimental
drivers.  (http://www.linux-usb.org/ is where to start.)

So I hope you feel better after ranting, but there are
more productive outlets you should be trying.  (Though
as rants go, it was rather mild ... :-)

It's probably explained in the hardware documentation
that you don't have ... like many people on this list,
I could make up lots of reasons, but few of which are
likely to be correct.  So I won't.  But it's still odd.
