What the heck are you saying?  I see nothing to indicated that he
'put a kernel driver in the old kernel', and why would have needed
to do so?  You are not being helpful.

Ivan, I am not aware of such a problem.  Please open a bug at
bugzilla.redhat.com and provide specific details of the problem you
are experiencing -- something more specific than "stopped working"
if at all possible.  Please also include the output of 'lsusb' and the
contents of /var/log/messages, and make sure to add linville at redhat.com
to the CC (or AssignedTo) list.

Thanks,

John
