Version 3.2.2 isn't new enough? I gave it a shot where my mouse is plugged in: # modprobe /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb2/2-1/2-1:1.0/modalias FATAL: Module /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb2/2_1/2_1:1.0/modalias not found. also tried this: # modprobe `cat /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb2/2-1/2-1:1.0/modalias` FATAL: Module usb:v045Ep0040d0300dc00dsc00dp00ic03isc01ip02 not found. I've really never heard of this modalias stuff before, so have no idea how it's supposed to behave. -AF ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
