Maybe lsusb knows. As for module-assistant, usually it is sufficcient to - replace "main" with "main contrib non-free" in your sources.list and run apt-get update - install module-assistant - run module-assistant prepare - run module-assistant auto-install $driver-source - load the driver manually or reboot regards Andreas Janssen -- Andreas Janssen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP-Key-ID: 0xDC801674 ICQ #17079270 Registered Linux User #267976 http://www.andreas-janssen.de/debian-tipps-sarge.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
