yes, that worked, thank you.
now the only problem is that I have to load modules manually. What do
I need to load modules automatically?
I used pjb-100 (mp3 player) before and the modules where loaded
automatically (when I plugged in the device). It was on basically the
same computer (debian unstable, kernel 2.4.18). Now when I plug in the
device nothing happens... any pointers on this?
TIA
