That definitely does not work for me on uImage.bin-2.6.37-qtmoko - I can 
watch /var/log/messages on my desktop and there is no sign of detecting 
the USB connection . .

v35 (and v34) is quite reliable for me except for a minor glitch - 
immediately after rebooting, I can make a ssh connection but then it 
almost always hangs after a few seconds.  If I reconnect again, it then 
lasts indefinitely (unless the FR goes into standby mode - which it does 
sometimes when it shouldn't - ie all the power settings are "off" for 
"plugged in".

Phil.
