It hasn't broken the hardware - just the ability to recognise them.  
The same hardware is working without problems on the unpatched 
kernel.

Fair enough - I'll ask them.

So it seems to me - at least you'll know to advise against running it 
on a win4lin patched kernel.

Will do.

I thought I had done that.  Never mind, though, I'll probably figure 
it out with a bit of help from my friends :-) and if not, well it 
will give me the excuse to load a later kernel and put win4lin on 
that instead.

At least I know that I can run GnomeMeeting by booting to the other 
kernel.  It's not ideal, but it's workable.  Thanks for your help.
