Then plug it in, and run lsusb. The difference in the two runs will make it easy to spot the new device. Then run lsusb with the -s option to specify the device, and -v to get more information. That may tell you far more about the device than you wanted to know. You may find the file /var/lib/usbutils/usb.ids (in the package usb.ids) useful. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
