[LAU] USB midi interface that works

Would someone please point me towards a USB MIDI interface that is known to work under Linux, particularly with kernels 2.6.18 and later? I acquired a MOTU Fastlane in August because I found references to it in the kernel and statements from others about it and Linux. This turned out not to work. I found that there's a curious bug introduced with kernel 2.6.18 that prevents the interface from working. More bewildering, the bug prevents my noname soundcard's midi interface from working too. Nobody on the kernel mailing list seems interested in the problem. So, what's a good simple USB MIDI interface for Linux? -- David Griffith dgriffi(a)cs.csubak.edu
