Still no fix on the error message.  Maybe it is hardware and related to
this?  I started having issues with the network again.  This time, it
wasn't just browsers.  It would be other stuff like Pidgin and such. 
Generally restarting the network corrected the problem, after restarting
the other programs too since they would hang up.  Anyway, I got tired of
this so I pulled a ethernet card from my junk drawer, pulled some hair
out trying to find the dmfe driver in the kernel and got it working. 
Since moving away from the ethernet that is built into the mobo and to
this card, not a issue yet.  I have not had a single hiccup.  So, as
with my last rig, the ethernet port on the mobo just start to suck after
a while it seems.  :/ 

Now I just wish I could figure out this other USB issue.  I suspect it
could be a hardware issue.  I may have to upgrade my rig after all and I
don't really want to do that and may not be able to right away. 

Memory question.  The mobo I have uses this:  "Support for DDR3
1666(OC)/1333/1066 MHz memory modules"  I have the 1666 on here.  It was
what was on sale.  :-D  The new mobo calls for this:  "DDR3
2000(OC)/1866/1600/1333/1066"  Are the two compatible?  Both are DDR3. 

Thanks.
