[G4] Wake from Sleep Problems with USB 2.0 PCI Card

[Casey Coulon]

Thanks for the suggestions. BTW, I also checked my Macs firmware and 
think its out of date. Apple says I should have 4.2.8 installed but it 
can only be installed if you have OS 9.x on your hard drive (which I 
don't). I can back up my files, reinstall OS 9.x, update the firmware, 
reinstall OS X, etc. That is a lot of work which I would rather not do 
if I don't have to.

Below is my System Profile...question though, is this the correct 
firmware before I go to all this trouble or not? Can anyone else with a 
G4 AGP confirm by checking their firmware and letting me know what they 
have? Thanks, you may save me a lot of trouble!
