I've only had it working recently, and had to reboot for other reasons (my 
daughter wanted to use tuxpaint, and a dead xine had a lock on alsa). I'll 
see how long it goes without a reboot.

I'm using 2.6.5 and get about 16700 interrupts a minute. I don't know if this 
is normal. Does Florian Schirmer subscribe to this list? He's the chap who 
wrote the driver, according to the source for the nxt6000 driver:
