When I plug it in, I discover that the device is a syntek-xxx. I don't know which logfile to interrogate to find out more. pet...@peterm-desktop:~$ lsusb Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0586:3410 ZyXEL Communications Corp.

Further thinking needed - any direction to my thoughts would be appreciated. I am currently thinking of a brew.
