'lsusb -v' will show the class of the device: Interface Descriptor: bLength 9 bDescriptorType 4 bInterfaceNumber 0 bAlternateSetting 0 bNumEndpoints 3 bInterfaceClass 8 Mass Storage bInterfaceSubClass 6 SCSI bInterfaceProtocol 80 Bulk (Zip) iInterface 0 If it isn't a Mass Storage class usb device you need to create a manual mapping of vendor/device (0451/6250 in your case) to have hotplug map it to the usb-storage driver. This will tell hotplug to load the usb-storage module when that device is discovered. You can manually modprobe usb-storage to see if that helps. I'm not to familiar with suse, but you need to find one of hte mapping files usually under /etc/hotplug or /etc/hotplug/usb and add an entry mapping the vendor/device to the usb-storage driver. I can never remember what all the fields are but something like: usb-storage 0x000f 0x0451 0x6250 0x0 0x0 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00000000 -- Dave _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
