Thanks Martin,

Didn't have a lot of time to check/test much.

But atleast on Ubuntu 10.10 (Linux) it did NOT work, because it is not
enabled in the kernel by default.

On Debian 6.0 (Linux) it is enabled by default but didn't have an
installation ready to test yet.

Ubuntu does have a bugreport about it, but without much result:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/447905

Haven't checked anything else.

Have a nice day,
    Leen.
