When doing things like this, you won't see any error messages on the console. You'll need to do a dmesg command, and look at the last few lines to see if anything shows up there. A lot of times, it won't, but you never know.
All Linux and UNIX systems are case-sensitive, so indeed "A" is _not_ the same as "a".

In the meantime I know the reason. The device-bus-id I used is "0.0.0A08". And I typed "A", because an "A" is something else than an "a", at least I thought it so. But - "a" proved to be right ... echo worked only when giving him an "a". I must admit I don't know why, and I also don't know yet if it is going to function like this. thanks, Anna ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
