They usually are well supported. I'm wondering what changed in that
driver between the 2.2.x and 2.4.0-test series (then again, what hasn't
changed...there were quite a few drivers that were practically rewritten).

I can understand this. I know that API has tested USB support
successfully under 2.4.0-test kernels, but I'm not sure if they were using
the Adaptec driver or if they had installed another SCSI adapter and used
that instead. I'll ask...

Hehehehe...ok. I'll see if I can look at the driver source in the next
few days to see if I notice anything obvious...
