I don't know yet, after my problems with 2.6.0-test11 I scanned through
the zytel archive until I saw a report of a working kernel which was
2.4.20 and used that one as a test, and was dead impressed that it
worked.

I plan to move forward to the latest 2.4.* and see it if still works, I
have a suspicion gleaned from the archives that the usb thingies that
changed which seemed to cause the glitches I saw in 2.6.0 might have
also changed in the 2.4 series, though whether its some minor fault of
the driver to not work in later ones, or a fault of the usb changes, I
have no idea yet.
